Kyaukphyu, Myanmar

Myanmar

Kyaukphyu, Myanmar anchors 22 Bunkabop connections across 1079 other places and 10 topics, from oil and gas pipelines to colonial-era history. A deep-water port on Rakhine State's coast, the town channels an oil and gas pipeline north to Ruili and the Maritime Silk Road, with construction led by South Korea's Daewoo and a China-backed consortium. Shared ties run strongest with China and India, and the bulk of its regional links sit with Myanmar neighbors Mrauk U and Sittwe. British forces established the town in 1838 after the first Anglo-Burmese War.
