Podcast: Iran’s Relations with China and India – Simple Economics but Complicated Politics?

29 May 2019 | Strategy & Risk

To what extent can Iran’s relationship help it alleviate the pressure from the Trump administration on its economy? Will Beijing and New Delhi see Iran’s predicament as an exception or the first casualty in a world where the US has weaponised its position in the global economic system?

In this podcast, The Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI) investigated the economic relations of Iran-China-India and the interplay with each respective country’s international political positions.

Speakers:

Bijan Khajehpour, Economist and managing partner at Eurasian Nexus Partners, a Vienna-based international strategic consulting firm
Jacopo Scita, PhD Candidate in Government and International Affairs, Durham University
Meena Singh Roy, Research Fellow and Coordinator, West Asia Centre, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi, India

The seminar was moderated by Rouzbeh Parsi, Head of UI’s Middle East and North Africa Programme.
