Myanmar-China crude oil pipeline to commence next month
After a two-year delay, the Myanmar-China crude oil pipeline is expected to begin operating in May, officials said this week. The respective parties of Myanmar and China were discussing the terms and conditions on the crude oil pipeline operation since its soft opening launched in early 2015, according to officials. “The crude oil pipeline is getting ready for operation. We are awaiting instructions from the higher ups and we expect it will begin in May,” said an official from Southeast Asia Crude Oil Pipeline which is responsible for the pipeline’s operation.
