United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific The Asian Highway network was first conceived in 1959. Today, it connects 32 member countries and consists of 141,000 km of highways. It is covered by an Intergovernmental Agreement signed by 28 member States and in force since 4 July 2005. The 50th Anniversary of the Asian Highway network in 2009 offers a perfect opportunity to celebrate today’s Silk Road by organising Asian Highway Truck Caravans which will demonstrate the movement of vehicles and goods across the Asian Highway Network.
