What happened
The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) is a plan proposed at the 2023 G20 meeting to connect India with Europe via a sea and land pathway. This route passes through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel before reaching Europe through Greece and Italy. During talks, Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani stated that the goal is to achieve €20 billion in trade exchange by 2029.
