The I2U2 summit is an alliance between USA, UAE, Israel and India. It deals with development of better economic connectivity, alliance for fighting climate change, as well as ensuring energy security.
Its interests align with India's interest in a variety of ways:
Body · points
→ Rising interest in West Asia due to developments in Afghanistan, and this alliance can bring India a seat at the table.
→ Counter terrorism is a necessary point of alliance as all 4 members face a rising threat from Islamic fundamentalism.
→ Indian Diaspora is largest in the UAE and USA, as well as a sizeable number of Indian Jews have migrated to Israel. Therefore, Indians can protect their interests effectively.
→ Rising threat of China in the Indo pacific is pushing India to develop strong linkages in West Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Oceania.
This also supplements India's efforts at expanding its global presence:
→ Defence manufacturing is a primary component of Atmanirbhar Bharat and these countries are viable candidates for export of Indian defence technology due to long-standing defence alliances.
→ A role in West Asia, as India moves away from traditional allies like Iran, Israel and UAE will be valuable in this aim.
→ A counter to the Russia-China-Pakistan axis, especially through china's BRI initiative can be brought through initiatives like I2U2 and QUAD.
