✅The India-Israel-UAE-USA quadrilateral platform has already begun to alter the strategic landscape of the Middle East and this corridor seems to be the first big deliverable from the track.

✅BRI vs IMEC 🍷

It is tempting to look at the IMEC as a competitor to the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative).

🍷Though it is certainly the case that the opacity and Chinese control over BRI stand in stark contrast to the multiple stakeholder engagement and sources of funding in the IMEC

🍷What IMEC can certainly offer, however, is a more efficient and reliable connectivity alternative to nations who are concerned about Chinese monopolisation of connectivity routes. #GS2 #IR
