Is barbed-wire fencing consistent with friendly relations?

[LaBong]

there are three fenced borders that i know of...

israel and palestine lands
s/korea and n/korea - dmz
india and pakistan

.....and in each case, they are not friendly neighbours.

Mexico and USA also share fenced border.

Spain has 100 metre high border, to prevent iilegal immigrants getting from Africa to Europe.

I think Spain has the highest fenced border in the World.

Bangladesh will be under water by the end of the century so we need to keep the 180 million people out.

When things reach a stage that fences need to be erected the ' friendly ' stage has been crossed.

A firm ' this much & no more' is more appropriate.

Fences need not be a sign of hostile equation.

It could be for economic reasons too wherein smuggling/ illegal trafficking/ illegal migration that affects the economies of both the countries is, to a great extent, curbed.

Border Fence is also there between the US and Mexico

The Mexico – United States barrier — also known in the United States as the border fence or border wall — is actually several separation barriers designed to prevent illegal movement across the Mexico – United States border. The barriers were built as part of three larger "Operations" to taper transportation of illegal drugs manufactured in Latin America and illegal immigration: Operation Gatekeeper in California, Operation Hold-the-Line [1] in Texas, and Operation Safeguard[2] in Arizona. The barriers are strategically placed to mitigate the flow of illegal border crossings along the Mexico – United States international border into the Southwestern United States. Opponents claim the barriers are a taxpayer boondoggle, an ineffective deterrent and that the barriers inappropriately jeopardize the health and safety of those seeking illegal entry into the United States, as well as destroy animal habitat, prevent animals from reaching water, disturb animal migration patterns, and otherwise damage the environment. Despite this barrier, the US Mexican border is considered an Open Border [3].
