Trade and investment
Japan is Bangladesh's 11th-largest export market; as of 2005[update], imports from Bangladesh make up 26% of all Japanese imports from the least developed countries, second only to those from Cambodia. Common imports from Bangladesh to Japan include leather goods, ready-made garments, and shrimp.[2] By 2004, Japan had become Bangladesh's fourth-largest source of foreign direct investment, behind the United States, United Kingdom, and Malaysia. Japan is also a significant source of development aid to Bangladesh.[3]
Japan's political goals in its relationship with Bangladesh include gaining support for their bid to join the United Nations Security Council, and securing markets for their finished goods.[3]
In 2001, there were about 9,500 Bangladeshis in Japan.
Year 2002: 30th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations
