"Nay Pyi Taw, 22 June — The Union government should open a new border gate with China, an MP of Muse Township constituency in northern Shan State suggested to the Pyithu Hluttaw on Monday. In response to the proposal from MP U Sai Bo Aung, Deputy Minister for Commerce Dr Pwint San said the proposed border gate in Hosaung area of Muse has the potential to promote trade and tourism, but territorial issues between Myanmar and China must be discussed first. Regarding road construction in Chin State, U Tin Ngwe, Deputy Minister for Livestock, Fisheries and Rural Development, said the Department of Rural Development in Htantlang Township will receive K1,058.245 million for construction of a 58-mile road, and some sections will soon be built. He also rejected a proposal of Thanbuyzayat Township constituency to repair two roads in the southern Myanmar town, as the projects were not included in the fiscal 2015- 2016 budget allocation. The Pyithu Hluttaw Bill Committee submitted the Protection and Conservation of Ancient Buildings Bill to the Lower House. The Public Affairs Management Committee also presented a number of draft laws to Pyithu Hluttaw, including reports from the Bill Committee on the draft laws."
