mark-the-lark discovered 26 months ago- Asian Highway network gathers speed By Raja M MUMBAI - More pieces of the ambitious 141,204-kilometer Asian Highway network slotted into place this month as Vietnam completed its section linking Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. Do Ngoc Dung, vice director general of the My Thuan Project Management Unit (PMU), announced completion of the work. The US$144.77 million construction bill was partly financed by the Asian Development Bank. The $44 billion Asian Highway network weaves through 32 countries, connects Asia with Europe, and promises to boost regional economies by facilitating trade and tourism through its linkage of Asian seaports, airports and major tourist destinations. It also fleshes out dreams of a Pan-Asian community with a common socio-political-economic identity analogous to the European Union.

Asian Highway network gathers speed Great thoughts about Asia's future. The idea of nation-states unifying along the lines of the EU is a noble ideal. But I'm afraid that Asian nations don't have the benefit or the horror of the EU's background raison d'etre. Remember the horrors of world war 2? Those are the foundations that grew in European artists and intellectuals minds the necessity for change. Read the texts of the painter Constant and it becomes evident that the artists were pressuring the politicians to delivering another future. What about Asia? No such things as an existential urgency... Will reason be strong enough to counter-act national ambitions. I hope. via mark-the-lark's SU pages, in Asia Times by Raja M """ More pieces of the ambitious 141,204-kilometer Asian Highway network slotted into place this month as Vietnam completed its section linking Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.
