Myanmar and Thailand opened No.2 Friendship Bridge on March 19 and it will expand trade and investment, tourism, cultural exchange, transport and relationship between people from both countries. The bridge is built on Moei River and connecting between Myawady and Mae Sot.
Authorities from both countries took a field trip to the border in May 2012 to check location to build the bridge and held a stake-driving ceremony in August 2015. State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi said in the opening ceremony of the bridge that she believes the collaboration between them will increase benefits and cooperation for both countries.
She said she believes the bridge will connect South East Asian countries along the East and West Economic Corridor by crossing Great Mekong sub-region. It will ease traffic jam from the old No.1 Friendship Bridge and commercial transactions can be made freely.
