Panel Discussion: The Dragon in West Asia: China’s Expanding Strategic Footprint
Usanas Foundation is organising a Panel Discussion on "The Dragon in West Asia: China’s Expanding Strategic Footprint" scheduled for 20th August 2026 at 5:00 PM IST.
China is rapidly transforming its role in West Asia from an economic partner into a strategic power. Its growing ties with Saudi Arabia, Iran, and other regional actors are reshaping traditional power dynamics. The panel will examine China’s energy interests, diplomatic outreach, infrastructure investments, and security ambitions. It will explore whether Beijing is emerging as a new power broker in the evolving West Asian order.
