Picture 1: The Capital of Union Territory Ladakh i.e the City of Leh is ~600 kilometre from Kashgar, a City on the ancient Silk Route.

Picture 2: The ~140-kilometer long Highway Corridor from Gyong Kangri in India to the City of Mazha in China is yet to be built.

Mr.@Nitin_Gadkari, @OfficeOfNG & Mr.@DrSJaishankar,

Keeping the security concerns aside, could investing in such an international highway corridor open the Indian Economy to the Global Trade?

Offcourse notwithstanding the fact that current-day Aksai Chin in integral to India.

On a Similar Note:

We would love to understand the current implementation status of the India-Myanmar-Thailand "Friendship Highway" which was in the makes over the last decade.

When can we expect goods & services to flow freely through this corridor?
