Initiative for ‘Southern Silk Route’ Linking Bangladesh, China, India, and Myanmar
Published By: Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) | Published Date: June, 01 , 2014This paper looks at the ‘BCIM Regional Cooperation’ and the related proposal to revive the ‘Southern Silk Route’ connecting China and India through Bangladesh and Myanmar. The aim is to understand the relationships among the four countries involved and analyse the opportunities and benefits of successful cooperation. This idea of building a sub-regional economic corridor was proposed by China in 1999, but because of various challenges and concerns it progressed slowly. Recently the initiative has been gaining much policy traction and therefore is an important area of study.
