US-Swedish think tank: Economic ties between Azerbaijan, Israel, and the UAE under the Abraham Accords could strengthen U.S. positions in southern Eurasia

"By including Azerbaijan in a wider Abraham Accords framework, the U.S. can upend the geopolitics of connectivity in Central Asia, halting the westward expansion of Chinese commercial hegemony across the Eurasian landmass. Linking the IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe Corridor) corridor to the Caspian shores of Kazakhstan via a multi-modal sea route with trans-shipment across Georgia and Azerbaijan will effectively end India’s isolation from Central Asia – a strategic objective long sought by New Delhi.

Consolidating the triangle of bilateral economic relationships among Azerbaijan, Israel, and the UAE into a multilateral framework through U.S. facilitation under the Abraham Accords is a necessary first step and a boon to the U.S. strategic position across Eurasia’s southern rim," writes the Washington- and Stockholm-based think tank, The Central Asia–Caucasus Institute and Silk Road Studies Program Joint Center.
