India shares land borders with Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. It also has a long coastal border. Several government agencies are responsible for managing India's borders, including the Ministry of External Affairs, Ministry of Defence, Indian Army, Indian Air Force, Coast Guard, Border Security Force, Indo-Tibetan Border Police, Sashastra Seema Bal and state police forces. Key issues in border management include security, infrastructure development, migration, smuggling, and disputes with neighboring countries over territorial claims.
