Moreh (Meitei pronunciation: /mō-rey/[a][1]) is a border town located on the India–Myanmar border in Tengnoupal district of the Indian state of Manipur.[2][3] As a rapidly developing international trade point with the integrated customs and international immigration checkpoint, Moreh plays an important role in India's Look East Policy,[4] trade and commerce under ASEAN–India Free Trade Area,[5] India-Myanmar relationship,[6] India–Myanmar–Thailand road connectivity,[7] and Trans-Asian Railway connectivity.[8][4]
Tamu in Myanmar, just across the Menal river from Moreh, is connected to Moreh via two roads: The Indo-Myanmar Friendship Bridge and a newer Moreh ICP Bridge which connects the Moreh Integrated Check Post (Moreh ICP).[9] Tamu in Myanmar connects Moreh in India to Kalewa-Yagyi-Mandalay in Myanmar and Mae Sot in Thailand through the India–Myanmar–Thailand Trilateral Highway.[7]
