A secret meeting was held in Bangladesh between the US and Bangladesh
authorities to discuss US Marine Corps assistance to Bangladesh in
surveying and managing its borders with India. The goal is being shown
as identifying routes of movement of terrorists and religious
extremists. But in fact there is a deeper context. According to The Bangladesh Today:

A likely place to allow camping of the US Soldiers is the
Korean EPZ in Chittagong. The KEPZ has not gone into operation and acres
of land are barren in the protected areas, where construction work is
going for an airport runaway. It is learnt the former US Ambassador
Buetenis who is now deputy head of the US Embassy in Iraq made several
trips to Bangladesh recently, only to evaluate progress of works for
this camp.The question is will Bangladesh be turned into a launching pad for the US for its military forays in the neighborhood?
