United Nations officials say plans for a huge international highway system across Asia could be finalized soon. The proposed system would comprise 140,000 km of roads linking 32 Asian nations. The system's main corridor would connect Tokyo to the Korean peninsula by ferry and stretch all the way to Istanbul, Turkey. The agreement will be formally unveiled in Shanghai on Monday and it will have to be ratified by at least eight of the nations before it can go ahead.
