The Biden administration underscores the continued importance of the India, Israel, United Arab Emirates, and United States (I2U2) grouping, affirming its ongoing priority despite the challenges in the Middle East, according to the White House.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized President Joe Biden's dedication to sustaining the I2U2 partnership during a press briefing. Jean-Pierre clarified that the grouping remains active and essential, rejecting any notion of it being sidelined due to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Highlighting the diverse range of collaborative efforts within the I2U2 framework, Jean-Pierre stressed the focus on innovative, science-based solutions to enhance food and energy security, space operations, and other key areas like water conservation and waste management.
Jean-Pierre expressed optimism about the future of the I2U2 partnership, affirming its continuous priority status. The inaugural summit of the I2U2 was convened on July 14, 2022, marking the establishment of the group.
The I2U2's core objective is to identify viable projects and initiatives aimed at addressing global challenges, including but not limited to water, energy, transportation, space, health, food security, and technology. The partnership also seeks to leverage private sector resources to modernize infrastructure, promote sustainable development pathways, and enhance public health outcomes.
According to the State Department, the geographic scope of I2U2 initiatives is broad, with a commitment to exploring opportunities wherever positive impacts can be made."
