Japan provided loans and grants for several infrastructural development projects in Bangladesh, including the Mass Rapid Transit System in Dhaka. Japan has also proposed developing an industrial hub in Bangladesh, with supply chains to landlocked northeastern states in India, Nepal, and Bhutan, by developing a port and transport in the region. Japan has played an important role in many infrastructure projects in Northeast India, including building roads in Assam, Mizoram, and Tripura to connect to Japanese-assisted projects in Bangladesh.

• In October 2021, The US 101/Zanker Road Improvement project launched. The project was a collaboration between the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), and the City of San José.
