The slide shows you the evolution of GMS connectivity in terms of subregional roads, telecoms links and power transmission interconnection since the GMS Program started in 1992.
In 1992, there was barely any subregional infrastructure in place.
As of end-2006, key sections of the three GMS economic corridors have been upgraded, a number of bilateral power transmission lines are operational, and the first phase of the GMS telecoms backbone is in place.
By 2015, if plans push through, the subregion will be closely interconnected, and linkages will be established with neighboring South Asia, the rest of China and the rest of mainland Southeast Asia.
