India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC)
A trade corridor linking India to the Gulf and Europe via rail, roads and ports. It matters to Lebanon because including Beirut and Tripoli ports could boost its trade position.
IMEC is an initiative announced at the 2023 G20 summit aimed at connecting India with the Middle East and Europe through a network of railways, roads and ports. It seeks to facilitate trade, reduce transit times and diversify supply chains. In Lebanon, authorities have expressed interest in including the ports of Beirut and Tripoli in the corridor for potential trade and investment opportunities.
