New Delhi, Aug 5: India has once again stressed the need for early completion of the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway – and its extension to Cambodia – to boost connectivity in the region as part of the Narendra Modi government’s Act East policy.
As he conveyed Prime Minister Modi’s personal greetings to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Phnom Penh on Thursday, visiting External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also called for speeding up connectivity from the north east to Vietnam through Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.
The two also flagged defence, tourism, demining, investment, and community development, as well as repairing temples during the conversation.
