Myanmar: Road to Bangladesh · Global Voices
Preetam Rai

New Mandala has a post on the new Friendship Road that is being built to connect Myanmar and Bangladesh. Road links between Myanmar and its western neighbors (India and Bangladesh) are not as developed as the ones in the East (Thailand and China). The blogger at New Mandala asks “Major roads now obviously link Thailand and China to Burma, and a road from Bangladesh is an important new direction for regional transport linkages.  I have little direct experience of Burma’s western borderlands but certainly welcome any comments from New Mandala readers who can tell us more.”
