India will seek two more border trade centres with Myanmar
New Delhi (PTI): India will seek two more border trade centres with Myanmar in the North-eastern states of Manipur and Mizoram but Arunachal Pradesh will be kept out of the proposal owing to security reasons.
The issue will be taken up by Minister of State for Commerce and Power Jairam Ramesh at Mandalay in Myanmar during his two-day visit from Tuesday.
At present, Moreh in Manipur is the only operational trade centre on the border. India will propose two additional such centres -- Avangkhu in Nagaland and Zowkhathar side.
