Yangon - Myanmar has opened discussions on building a railway link between its north-eastern Shan State and China's Yunnan province, media reports said Wednesday. 'The Myanmar-China railway link will connect Lashio, capital of Shan state in the north, and Jiegao town of Yunnan province, China,' The Yangon Times weekly reported. Officials from China's Railways Ministry recently visited Myanmar to discuss the proposed link, the Burmese-language weekly said. 'Three possible routes for the railway link have already been chosen,' the newspaper said. Construction costs for the new railway link were estimated at 500 million dollars. Myanmar currently has a rail track between Yangon, Myanmar's former capital, and Lashio.
