This development is expected to further boost economic cooperation and trade between the three countries by making it easier and more efficient for businesses to move goods across borders.
Overall, this agreement represents a significant step towards enhancing transportation infrastructure and facilitating trade in the region. It demonstrates the commitment of the three countries to strengthening economic ties and promoting regional cooperation.
