Abstract: The economy of Bangladesh is booming gradually year after year and the government is also planning for huge infrastructural development to boost up its economic sectors. Infrastructure like Deep Sea Port or Deep water port can bring both economic and military significance for a country. China, India and, the USA were in the race of aiding Bangladesh to construct deep sea port in the Bay of Bengal to gain exclusive access and control over the Bay as well as the Indian Ocean. China was about to start Sonadia Deep Sea Port which was cancelled due to India’s & the USA’s concern. Bangladesh then strategically sided all those three powers and by changing the location of the port construction, brought comparatively pacifist Japan to build her first-ever deep Sea Port at Matarbari, in Cox’s Bazar district. This paper critically measures the deep politics after doing a content analysis of the events related to the research area. Besides, the importance of the Bay of Bengal and how it could shift the regional politics has also been discussed in the perspective of Bangladesh, India, and China.
