Caucasus Geopolitical Shift: New Actors Emerge Amidst Russia-India-Azerbaijan Economic Corridor Expansion

High-level coordination between Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi, with Marat Khusnullin's involvement and Ilham Aliyev's implicit inclusion via the co-actor signal, suggests a strategic alignment focused on economic cooperation and potentially a Eurasian corridor. Putin's explicit mention of "very big potential for economic cooperation with India" directly links to this emerging narrative, hinting at the development of trade routes potentially connecting the Caspian region through to the Indian Ocean.
