A strategic project, the plan under the India Middle East Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC) is to transport goods from Indian ports to Fujairah in the UAE by ship, and from there move the containers by train to Haifa in Israel. From Haifa, the containers will move to Europe with Italy, France, the UK and the US having already joined the alliance. Ports in Greece and North Africa may also see some traffic movement. In his remarks from the Oval Office last week, US President Joe Biden had identified IMEEC as a critical project for the region.
