‘West Asia conflict won’t impact IMEEC’

MARRAKECH: FM Nirmala Sitharaman said that the conflict in West Asia will not have any impact on the proposed India Middle East European Corridor (IMEEC) as it has long-term significance. “The IMEEC, which is an India initiative, is for the long term, and its significance is long-term. While short-term glitches can have concerns and occupy our minds, we will keep engaging with all stakeholders. This is just not for the immediate future, we have started it with a long-term interest,” she said.
