Maung Aye's itinerary includes a visit to the National Mausoleum at Savar, the Military Institute of Science and Technology at Mirpur in Dhaka, and a tour of Rangamati in Chittagong Hill Tract. He will leave from Chittagong Hill Tract for Burma on 9 October.
His visit is taking place after Bangladesh and Burma signed an agreement in Dhaka in July 2007 to establish a 25-kilometer direct road link between the two neighbors to boost trade and tourism. The US $20 million "Friendship Road" from Gundhum in Cox's Bazar to Baulibazar in Burma's Maungdaw was also designed to connect with China's Kunming City under a tri-nation road connectivity plan that will give further access to Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, as well as the Asian Highway.> detail> http://www.narinjara.com/details.asp?id=1923
