Negara-negara bertetangga dari Bangladesh dan Myanmar umumnya memiliki hubungan mulus di bawah junta militer Burma, meskipun keberadaan lebih dari 270,000 pengungsi Rohingya di Bangladesh sering menjadi iritan besar. Masyarakat sipil dan kelas sosial di Bangladesh sering kali menyuarakan solidaritas untuk perjuangan pro-demokrasi Myanmar. Namun, Bangladesh telah menjalin perdagangan dan jaringan jalan raya dan kereta api dengan Myanmar untuk menggelembungkan hubungan ekonomi antara dua negara tersebut.[1]
Pada Desember 2016, pertahanan perbatasan Bangladesh menuduh Angkatan Laut Myanmar menembak empat nelayan Bangladesh di Teluk Bengal, yang berujung pada protes resmi.[2]
