Summary
The gradual shift in the global economic order, which is becoming increasingly apparent over the last decade, has re-oriented the contours of the Gulf–Asia relations. The rise of Asia and the Gulf, itself a part of Asia, led to a shift and restructuring of the global economy. The Gulf “Look East” policy coincided with some Asian countries’ “Look West” policy. Will this global economic shift continue? Are current crises like the Covid-19 pandemic, the consequent fall in oil prices and the global economic downturn bound to alter this trajectory and interest between the Gulf region and Asia? To what extent will the US–China cold war affect this shift? What do all of these mean for the future Gulf–Asia relations?
