DHAKA: Bangladesh is likely to propose regional energy sector cooperation at Wednesday's discussion among India, Bangladesh and Myanmar on the proposed trans-boundary gas pipeline. Dhaka's proposal at the Yangon meeting, media reports said, would also include passage through Indian territories to import electricity from Nepal and Bhutan in exchange for allowing the tri-national gas pipeline through Bangladesh territory. The reports suggest a Bangladesh private company has proposed installing the gas pipeline to facilitate energy-hungry India's gas import from Myanmar. "We would like to see the gas pipeline installed under regional energy cooperation," the Minister for Energy and Mineral Resources, A. K. M. Mosharraf Hossain, said. The proposed pipeline will transmit gas from Myanmar to Tripura, from where gas will join the pipeline flow and continue on to eastern Bangladesh through the Brahmanbaria border, exiting in western Bangladesh through the Jessore border and ending in West Bengal.
