Associate Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr Deepika Saraswat’s article ‘Iran’s Ties with China: Synergising Geoconomic Strategies’ has been published by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, on 7 July, 2022.
Iran as a key geopolitical actor in West Asia has not only endured decades of US security and economic pressure, it has also cultivated geopolitical influence in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the region. Iran’s geoeconomic strategy therefore is to leverage this geopolitical influence to advance Iran’s position in the region-wide energy and infrastructure connectivity, says Dr Saraswat.
