UPSC CSE Prelims 2024

How will I2U2 (India, Israel, UAE and USA) grouping transform India’s position in global politics?

I2U2 initiative is a new grouping of India, Israel, USA and UAE. It will revitalize and re-energize the system of alliances and partnerships around the world.

Its stated aim is to discuss common areas of mutual interest, to strengthen the economic partnership in trade and investment in our respective regions and beyond.

I2U2 - transform India’s position in global politics:

  • Advantage from Abraham Accords: India will get advantage of the Abraham Accords to deepen engagement with Israel without risking its ties with the UAE and the other Arab states. 
  • The centrality of India: India's bilateral strategic ties with each of the three countries have been on an upswing in the last few years. 
  • Alliances: It will help India in building alliances — political alliances, social alliances. 
  • India can play an important role in deepening Israel’s integration into the region. 
  • For India, it leverages its good relations with Israel, the Gulf, and the US alike to build economic exchanges that are mutually beneficial with next to no downsides on the horizon. 
  • India and the West Asian countries in I2U2 could come together and work on food security and agricultural technology thus solving global common concerns. 
  • The US sees the group as another way to contain China where India is seen as consequential partner. 

Thus, India’s participation in the West Asian Quad brings Delhi in a string with other significant powers– including Europe, China, and Russia – to try and involve all parties in the region. The I2U2 sets the staging for a new and engaged phase in India’s greater role in global politics.
