<h1>Bangladesh Chief Adviser's Remarks About India's Northeast States Spark Diplomatic Tension Over Strategic Regional Interests</h1> The interim Bangladesh government's Chief Adviser made controversial remarks during a China visit, calling Bangladesh the 'only guardian of the ocean' in the region and describing India's northeastern states as landlocked.

The Chief Minister emphasized that these comments highlight vulnerability concerns regarding India's 'Chicken's Neck' corridor connecting Northeast India to the mainland.
