: following Asian Highway alignment, the BIMSTEC highway that links India with Thailand through Myanmar, should be linked with Mekong East–West Economic Corridors, which runs from Myanmar coast to Vietnam coast. Once this is done, it will enhance the possibility of setting up special economic zones at borders—India-Myanmar and Myanmar—Thailand. Being land-linked, India’s NER can serve as a ‘hub’ for trade between Mekong and India.
