The Greater Mekong Subregion Transport & Trade Facilitation (GMS TTF) program focuses on transport and trade facilitation measures that enhance connectivity across international borders and improves linkages among the six GMS countries for increased cross-border trade and investment. At the heart of the program is the GMS Cross-Border Transport Facilitation Agreement (CBTA), which consolidates all the key non-physical measures for streamlining the cross-border movement of goods, vehicles and people within the subregion.
We work to make cross-border transport and trade easier and more efficient, which includes assisting in the implementation of the Cross-Border Transport Facilitation Agreement (CBTA).
Knocking Down Borders in the GMS
We work in the six GMS countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, People’s Republic of China, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces, Thailand and Viet Nam), with National Transport Facilitation Committees established in each country. Currently, nine routes in the subregion are considered economic corridors, which vary in their traffic flow and level of infrastructure development.
