The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), a proposed multinational infrastructure initiative aimed at upgrading connectivity between the three regions through integrated trade, energy and digital networks, is envisioned partially as a counterweight to China’s international infrastructure project, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), according to an article.
