Trade and connectivity in the Europe-Gulf strategic partnership

Boosting trade between European and Gulf states depends on advancing two primary projects: a free trade agreement and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor. There is a question of whether disruptions from the Iran war could accelerate these stalled initiatives. Additionally, both regions stand to gain significantly from strengthening their strategic investment ties. Identifying the most viable projects is essential for maximizing the mutual benefits derived from closer economic cooperation and enhanced connectivity between Europe and the Gulf.
