It is reported that with the permission of the Karen state government, Thai trucks will be allowed to enter the sawadi border trade zone from November 23 to speed up trade between the two countries.
Novel coronavirus pneumonia, the second time, is to limit the spread of the new crown pneumonia virus to BCF Zone Cargo. At present, the Myanmar government unilaterally allows trucks from the other side to enter the sawadi trade zone to speed up trade. However, trucks on the Myanmar side have not been allowed to reach the Trade Zone on the Thai side.
According to Wu desaang, in the past, border trade has been restricted by Thailand in order to prevent and control the spread of the epidemic. From October 11, trucks from Myanmar and Thailand were only allowed to exchange goods in the BCF zone cargo area of the Friendship Bridge No. 2 between siwadi and meisuo. In addition, there are many inconveniences in trading only between BCF regions, such as the need to move goods, some goods are difficult to transfer and so on. The trade between BCF areas is just a false name, there are many difficulties in practice, even it is difficult to call it trade.
Traders believe that the reauthorization can be transported to the second wadi trade zone to carry out trade, thus reducing the cost of traders, reducing commodity damage, and speeding up trade.
