Better infrastructure is essential along the 3,000-km road link between India and the three South Asian countries-Bangladesh, Myanmar and China, said Adi Godrej, Godrej Group Chairman and CII president last week. Speaking to the media after flagging off the 12-day Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Forum for Regional Cooperation (BCIM) Car Rally in Kolkata, Godrej said road infrastructure should be improved since the link connecting these four countries was largely difficult terrain.
Adi Godrej said that there are tremendous opportunities in the region (the area connecting IndiaÂ’s North-Eastern States with Bangladesh, Myanmar and South-West China). It has a population of about 3 billion, he said. According to him, the car rally would rejuvenate IndiaÂ’s close relationship with Bangladesh, Myanmar and China after almost six decades since trade through the Southern Silk Route was closed following World War II.
