Bangladesh militarized its docks this week to break a longshore strike.
Bangladesh said Wednesday it would deploy the army at the country’s main seaport to keep cargo moving after days of strikes by dock workers hit crucial garment shipments.
Workers at the southern Chittagong sea port have been on strike since Monday.
Last week, Bangladesh asked China for help in building a multi-billion-dollar deep sea port in the Bay of Bengal, but the project will take years if not decades to complete, officials say.
