Grant Description

A Myanmar official said on 18 August 2016 that China and Myanmar were set to sign deals to build a strategic bridge near their border and two hospitals in Myanmar. The two hospitals would be built in Myanmar's two largest cities, Yangon and Mandalay. The bridge was aimed to improve transport and communication between the countries and would be built in Kunlong town.

The Kulong bridge project was formally committed via Letters of Exchange on March 20, 2018, and is captured via Record ID#63459. The status of the two hospital projects are unknown, and no evidence has yet been identified that they materialized.
