The 17 Border Trade Stations and Their Conditions
There are a total of 17 border trade stations between Myanmar and neighboring countries. Six of these border trade stations are controlled by Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) and resistance forces. The State Administration Council (SAC), in principle, controls 11 border trade stations; two stations have ceased trading, and some trade routes are blocked. Currently, the SAC is considering the development of a new trade route through eastern Shan to China, as the previous northern Shan pathway has also ceased operations. Concurrently, Thailand is spearheading discussions with all stakeholders to facilitate the reopening of the Asian Highway.
