As nations like Iran, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, and Egypt embrace a "Look East" strategy, Azad explores how and why these countries are moving away from traditional Western alliances to build deeper economic, political, and strategic relationships with Asian powers 1.

Key Themes

Through trade, investment, and diplomatic initiatives, Middle Eastern countries are seeking economic opportunities, technological innovation, and new strategic partnerships in Asia 1. Azad also discusses how this shift could affect global stability and how other major powers may respond 1.

Historical and Contemporary Context
