INDIA-MYANMAR-THAILAND
NEW DELHI: Bangladesh is likely to finally join the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway Project. The issue was discussed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi s visit to Dhaka last week as both India and Bangladesh have decided to remain engaged with Myanmar notwithstanding its internal political dynamics. The project will provide Bangladesh direct connectivity with the Southeast Asian nations. It is expected to boost trade in the region.
Sources said that the project also gives India along with other nations an opportunity to counter China s Belt and Road Initiative while enhancing connectivity for the landlocked north-eastern States of the country.
