Will the #IMEC be a private club or a public good?
My comments on the governance structure of the upcoming corridor at the Delphi Economic Forum, with @Zemenides HRH Prince Turki Al Faisal, @AlexisKonstant3, Francesco Talo and @BradStaples.

[Gautam Chikermane 🇮🇳 @gchikermane]

Enjoyed participating in this discussion on #IMEC at the Delphi Economic Forum.
Amid the diversity of views, one thing is certain: the corridor could become an institution where hard infrastructure hyphenates and drives trade and peace.

Είχα την τιμή να επισκεφθώ τη Σαουδική Αραβία, στο πλαίσιο της 9ης έκδοσης του Future Investment Initiative που πραγματοποιήθηκε στο Ριάντ.
Η επίσκεψή μου αποτέλεσε μια σημαντική ευκαιρία για την ενίσχυση των οικονομικών σχέσεων Ελλάδας – Σαουδικής Αραβίας, την προώθηση των ελληνικών επενδυτικών ευκαιριών και την ανάδειξη της δυναμικής και τεχνογνωσίας των ελληνικών επιχειρήσεων σε τομείς στρατηγικής σημασίας, όπως η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη, οι κατασκευές, τα αγροδιατροφικά προϊόντα και οι χρηματοπιστωτικές υπηρεσίες.

Oxi Day is celebrated on October 28th by Greeks around the world. It marks the day in 1940, when Prime Minister Metaxas responded "OX!" or “NO" to an ultimatum to surrender made by Italian dictator Mussolini during WWII.

Greece s Ochi (No) and the resistance of the heroic Greek people on the mainland and especially in Crete delayed the Nazi attack on Russia so that it happened in adverse weather winter conditions allowing the Eastern front to resist.
Greece highly contributed to winning WWII

[Ictinus ®️ @ictinus_x]

🇬🇷 28 October 1940
“The free world watched as one by one countries across Europe surrendered to Hitler’s Axis forces. At 3:00 a.m. on October 28, 1940, a representative of the Axis forces arrived at the Greek prime minister’s residence and demanded Greece’s surrender. The prime minister replied with one single word  – Oxi – No.

A few hours later, the Axis forces descended on Greece, expecting that it would quickly fall, but the Greek resistance forced Hitler to change his plans.
News of Greece’s victory flooded the radio airwaves and covered the front pages of newspapers around the globe. A grateful world celebrated – no one expected such a small nation to derail the seemingly unstoppable Axis forces.”

Greece ultimately resisted the combined Axis forces for 219 days, which was more than triple the time of any other country that would come to be occupied during the war.

Excellent analysis by Dr John Sfakianakis, head of ecomomic research at the Gulf Research Center, providing the overall strategic framework of our rapidly growing bilateral relations.

[Gulf Research Center - مركز الخليج للأبحاث @Gulf_Research]

🇬🇷🇸🇦 The Gulf Research Center (GRC) has released a new policy brief: “The Aegean–Gulf Axis: How Greece and Saudi Arabia Are Redrawing the Map of Power” by Dr. John Sfakianakis, Chief Economist & Head of Economic Research at the GRC.

Read the full brief:
https://t.co/Osu5Vz62eJ

The paper examines how Greece and Saudi Arabia are building a strategic partnership in energy, digital connectivity, defense, and investment, redefining the geopolitics of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Gulf. Through projects like the 3 GW Saudi–Greek Interconnection and the East-to-Med Data Corridor, both nations are linking the Arabian Peninsula with Europe.

Saudi investments in Greece’s renewables exceed €400 million, with €2.8 billion in new projects planned. Greek air-defense deployments in Saudi Arabia and joint exercises under the Falcon-Aegean Framework reflect growing strategic trust.

Trade reached $1.5 billion in 2024, nearly double 2020 levels, as both sides expand cooperation across energy, transport, and digital sectors, illustrating how medium powers can drive regional order through connectivity and complementarity.
