Govt. denies any proposal to open India-Myanmar-Thailand highway corridor

The government today said that there is no proposal to open the India-Myanmar-Thailand highway corridor through China. This information was given in a written reply by the Minister of State for External Affairs, Mrs Preneet Kaur in the Rajya Sabha today. She said, however, discussions to construct India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway have taken place and India has taken up the preparation of detailed project reports for stretches of road and bridges inside Myanmar closer to India-Myanmar border. The Minister said Thailand has agreed to do likewise inside Myanmar closer to its border with Thailand. Mrs Kaur said there is no plan to develop the traditional silk route from the North-Eastern region to Singapore via China.
