NESA Center alumnus Viraj Solanki contributed to an analysis of the recent formation of a new quadrilateral group, the I2U2, published at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

"The leaders of four countries – India, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and the United States – met for the first time in July 2022 as part of a new quadrilateral format meant to encourage cooperation on geo-economic initiatives. For Washington, this effort is part of its broad competition with Beijing over global economic influence. But this may prove to be a stumbling block for the I2U2, given that the participants have diverging strategic views about China."
