FM seeks Thai support to include Bangladesh in Trilateral Highway Project

[Black_cats]

abey dumbo. INDIA sells 170 million smart phones at $230 average price. LUNGI land sells 8 million at 8000 taka average. DON'T even open your mouth. JOKER.

INDIANS bought 3.5 million cars. 800000 TRUCKS and a million tractors and 20 million motorcycles.

BANGLADESH buys 3000 cars, 800 trucks and 1000 tractors a year. 500000 motorcycles a year is what you buy. ANY MIDSIZED TOWN in India can compete with your purchasing power.

There is nothing special for Bangladesh in this project, Thailand is a coastal state and there is a direct shipping route between Chittagong and Ranong ports.

I also don't see Thailand being interested in this highway, adding Bangladesh may have interested them but Northeast is a tiny economy. Myanmar will get some improved highway network so they have no issues.



Bangladesh and Myanmar had a separate arrangement called "Friendship Road" funded by Bangladesh to link the two countries and eventually connect with Kunming, China. A taskforce was formed in 2005, an agreement was reached in 2007 while feasibility study was conducted in 2008. Construction was supposed to start next year but looks like something happened in late-2008/2009 and the project got stalled.

Thanks for the elaborate input on the tripartite road. Yes, you are very right to say that Thailand gets no benefits if connected with only Indian NE and MM. Only the inclusion of BD makes an economic sense.

However, road system is less efficient than a sea route or a railway route. Not trade, but our people may visit MM and Thailand by expressways. Thailand gets benefits.

Anyway, the expressway seems to be a hollow concept without an economic benefits to the countries. Connection with China and ASEAN through MM would be more beneficial to BD.

Lol, talked like a typical low-IQ indur.

Your largest export product is petroleum, whatever oil you import majority is exported as refined oil, not consumed within India. Your middle-class lives a lifestyle that would qualify as below poverty-line in Bangladesh for God's sake.

This is beyond the syllabus of your shakha so quit discussing stuff that makes a fool out of yourself.

Another day, another Sanghi idiot...
