With the implementation of the Dawei and Kyaukphyu deep-sea port projects in respective coastal state and region, experts stressed the need for building international airports for accommodation of larger aircrafts touching down from the region and facilitation of maritime trade with neighboring countries.
The existing two airports are just enough for running domestic transportation, the experts warned, emphasizing the need for the two airports to extend building of their infrastructure.
The present Dawei deep-sea port project stands one of the priorities among future programs of the seven-member Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation ( BIMSTEC) which now comprises Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bhutan and Nepal.
On completion of the project, cargo vessels from the Middle East, Africa and Europe can avoid crossing the Malacca Strait for access to China, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos, experts said.
A study of the Myanmar experts also revealed that these cargo ships from the region can save about 1,250 nautical miles (2,316 nautical km) and four days' time compared with transiting through Singapore.
Once the project is implemented, it could carry out trade from the Dawei deep-sea port with Bangkok within a day which is only a 300 kilometers' voyage, maritime officials also said.
As for Kyaukphyu deep-sea port, Myanmar is planning to build it on the Maday Island to serve as a transit trade center for goods destined to port cities of Chittagong, Yangon and Calcutta.
Kyaukphyu also stands at a point on a proposed land route connecting southwestern China's Kunming in Yunnan province with Myanmar's Sittwe through Mandalay. The overall road link between Myanmar and China under study is outlined as Kunming-Mandalay- Kyaukphyu-Sittwe.
Meanwhile, in May this year, China and Myanmar reached a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in development of China-Myanmar corridor project to link Ruili and Kyaukphyu.Source:Xinhua
