Joe Biden Calls East-Europe Economic Corridor “Game-Changing Investment” For US

US President Joe Biden emphasized the importance of the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), which was officially launched on Saturday. He described it as “a big deal” and a “game-changing investment” for the US.

In order to promote job creation and improve food security on a global scale, he emphasized the US’s commitment to investing in the innovative train line that runs from Angola to the Indian Ocean. He predicted that in the next ten years, the phrase “economic corridor” will be widely used.

On Saturday PM Modi announced the launch of IMEC i.e. on the first day of the G20 summit. UAE, Saudi Arabia, the European Union, France, Italy, Germany, and the US are collaborating in this initiative.

PM said, “This corridor will show a sustainable way to the whole world and will be a medium of economic integration between India, West Asia, and Europe.” He even emphasized on the other aspects which the initiative will be offering, the project aids in integrating nations through its two delineated paths: the east corridor connecting India to the Arabian Gulf and the northern artery joining the Arabian Gulf to Europe.

This project under the Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment (PGII) is considered to be a strong counter to China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

The IMEC project, which began as early as May 2023 in discussions, is intended to revolutionize connectivity by avoiding current barriers in India-Pakistan relations and facilitating rail connectivity between Europe and the Persian Gulf states, with a potential extension to Israel in the future.

Through the IMEC, the operationalization of the ship-cum-train route might provide a crucial transit solution for a range of products, improving trade efficiencies and paving the way for a sustainable future.
