Significance of I2U2 for India
The grouping of this four-country becomes crucial to address the issue of food security and safety.
The report by the State of Food Security and Nutrition (2020) quotes that around 14% of India’s total population is undernourished.

Grouping will boost India’s project to build a connectivity corridor that runs from India to the Arabian gulf across the Arabian Peninsula to Israel, Jordon, and from there to the European Union.
It will also help India to cut the cost of moving containers significantly.
As the UAE is the second largest export destination of India after the USA, so it will help to re-energize the system of trade and commerce among the four countries.
