During his budget speech in the House, he said that the two important trade corridors are in the pre-construction stage under the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Program of Asian Development Bank.
The development of these sectors would augment international trade via surface and would also provide sub-regional co-operation and connectivity among Nepal, Bhutan, India and Bangladesh, the minister said.
AH-2 corridor of 37.27 km length will be from Nepal to Bangladesh via Bagdogra in West Bengal.
The minister said ADB has already funded a technical assistance grant for carrying out a feasibility study and detailed engineering design for a North-South Road Corridor project.
