PM Modi, Macron Agree To Work Closely On IMEE Corridor. What Is It? | Read

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron today agreed the two countries should work more closely on building the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEEC).

The IMEEC is an important project as it passes through Marseille in the Mediterranean Sea.

Marseille, where PM Modi went today to pay homage to Indian soldiers who died fighting alongside their French counterparts in World War I, occupies a strategic space in the Mediterranean Sea.

It is at the crossroads of global shipping routes and positioned as the natural gateway to southern Europe.
