Question 312
Name the two foreign countries which have international border with Assam
Answer
Bangladesh and Bhutan
Why?
The correct answer is Bangladesh and Bhutan. Key Points Assam is a northeastern state in India and shares its international borders with two countries: Bangladesh and Bhutan. Assam shares a 263-kilometer-long border with Bhutan, primarily in its western and northern regions. The border with Bangladesh extends to approximately 263 kilometers, located in the southern part of Assam. Both borders hold strategic and economic importance for Assam in terms of trade, culture, and regional connectivity. Additional Information Nepal and Bhutan: Nepal and Bhutan are neighboring countries of India, but they do not share borders with Assam. Nepal is located northwest of Assam, while Bhutan is to its north. Nepal shares borders with Indian states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Myanmar and Bangladesh: Myanmar shares a border with four northeastern states of India: Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, and Mizoram. However, Assam does not share a direct border with Myanmar. Bangladesh, on the other hand, shares a southern border with Assam. Nepal and Bangladesh: Nepal does not share a border with Assam, as it is situated farther west. While Bangladesh does share a border with Assam, Nepal's geographical position excludes it from being one of Assam's bordering countries.
