Indians may soon be able drive down to Myanmar and do business with a country that is perfectly situated to play the role of an economic bridge between India and China and between South and South-East Asia.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh went on a three-day official visit to resource-rich Myanmar that ended Tuesday - a prime ministerial trip from India to the hitherto isolated nation aftere 25 years - a trip that saw the inking of a dozen agreements that would improve connectivity, expand trade and forge intellectual links through their think-tanks.
Connectivity between the neighbours - who share over a 1600 km land border - was topmost on the agenda and the two countries decided to cooperate in a number of road building projects and the prime minister hoped in Yangon that "the very symbolic Trilateral Highway that will connect India, Myanmar and Thailand can be fully built by 2016".
Once the highway is complete, it would be possible to drive down from India via Myanmar to Thailand and beyond.
