"The world is today paradoxically rebuilding itself even as it is being disrupted. While new production and consumption centres emerged in the last few decades, there is an accompanying compulsion to create similar logistical corridors. From an Indian perspective, the time has now come to start re-engineering the logistical map of the world. Some steps have already been taken, such as the International NorthSouth Transport Corridor that also involves the Chabahar port. A more ambitious project is on the anvil in the form of the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, which was agreed upon during the G20 Summit last September," Jaishankar said.
