KUNMING, June 25 (Oana-Xinhua) -- Southwest China's Yunnan Province is increasing cooperation with Myanmar to develop a road-water transportation line for more efficient trade.
The province and the country expect a portage to be completed in the near future between a road in the province and the waterway of the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar.
The 2150-km river originates on the Tibet Plateau and flows through Yunnan and Myanmar and empties into the Indian Ocean. -- Oana-Xinhua
