Modi and Trump discuss defense and trade, focus on IMEC to counter China

ndtv.com February 9, 2025, 11:00 AM UTC

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting the United States to meet President Donald Trump. Their talks will focus on defense cooperation, trade relations, and countering China's influence, particularly through the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). The IMEC aims to connect India to Europe via the Middle East, offering an alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative. The Adani Group plays a key role in this project, having acquired a significant stake in Israel's Haifa Port, enhancing India's strategic position. The meeting will also address military technology access and cybersecurity cooperation. Both nations have strengthened their defense ties over the years, driven by concerns over China's growing power in the region.
