That is why one can assume that geopolitics stipulates regional integration as well. Farkhod Tolipov | January 2010 | Strategic Analysis
India and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC): An Economic and Political Perspective Indian presence in the Gulf region is civilizational and has developed into a vibrant relationship over the years.
