What happened
President Donald Trump has backed the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) initiative. The IMEC, unveiled in 2023, comprises an Eastern Corridor connecting India to the Gulf region and a Northern Corridor linking the Gulf region to Europe. India has since signed Free Trade Agreements with the European Union (including Scandinavian/EFTA countries) and with Oman.

Why it matters
Experts suggest the push for IMEC aims to revive trade, stabilize the West Asian situation, and utilize investments made by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. However, former US National Security Advisor John Bolton warned that peace and security remain at risk due to the required regime change in Tehran and inherent safety issues in the region.
IMEC links India and Europe.
