In a bid to further boost booming Sino-Indian trade, China has started renovation of the historic Stilwell Road connecting its Yunnan Province to Myanmar and India, the state media reported today.
Chinese authorities have begun renovating the Stilwell Road built during World War II to promote Sino-Indian trade, ‘China Daily’ reported even as Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is currently in New Delhi for high-level talks with the Indian leadership.
Early surveys have been made and a detailed renovation plan is expected to be finalised by the end of this month, it said quoting sources with the Yunnan provincial government.
After the reopening of the renovated road, the distance from Baoshan, a border city in Yunnan, via Myitkyina in Myanmar, to Ledo in India will be a touch above 500 kms.
