During the G20 summit in India, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, initiated the creation of a railway and waterway corridor that will connect India, Middle Eastern countries, and Europe, reported AP.
National Security Advisor to Biden, Jake Sullivan, stated that in addition to the United States, India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Israel, and European Union countries will be involved in implementing the project. According to him, the enhanced transportation infrastructure will promote closer ties among Middle Eastern nations and transform the region into a center of economic activity.
The United States did not specify the timeline and cost of the project. According to Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the launch of the economic corridor will cost $20 billion.
