Biden and Allies Announce Game-Changing Rail Link Connecting India and Europe at G20
President Joe Biden, India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and other G20 leaders announced plans to construct the India – Middle East – Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), a rail and shipping corridor that would connect India with the Middle East and Europe. The project aims to reduce trade costs, generate jobs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increase trade efficiency. The corridor will feature a railway network, digital connectivity, and clean hydrogen exports. The initiative is seen as a response to China's Belt and Road Initiative. The timeline and cost of the project are yet to be determined.
