Jan 16, 2025

Washington DC (USA) January 16 (ANI): US President Joe Biden on Jan 16 said that his vision of an economic corridor connecting India, the Middle East, and Europe--a vision first presented at the G-20 summit in Delhi in September 2023--can now become a reality following the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage deal. While delivering remarks on reaching a ceasefire and hostage deal, Biden said, "At G-20 in Delhi in September 2023, I rallied key countries behind a vision of an economic corridor from India across the Middle East to Europe. That vision can now become a reality." Biden further acknowledged that while the ceasefire deal was developed under his administration, its implementation will largely fall to the next administration, which will be under President-elect Donald Trump. "This deal was developed and negotiated under my administration, but its terms will be implemented for the most part by the next administration. In these past few days, we've been speaking as one team," Biden said.
