Best Answer

Being landlocked is no hinderence to being a developed country. You could claim it is an advantage.

A land-locked country is surrounded on all 4 sides with other countries with which it can trade. A coastal countries only has trade partners on some sides. A coastal country needs ships and ports to trade.

In former times, before railways, sea and river trade was faster and cheaper than overland. This is no longer the case.
