  In 2023, more countries such as the UAE and Iran joined the BRICS group. BRICS Key to Arab Trade Diversification Strategy By Syed Atique Hussain Naqvi, Toronto, Canada  As global business and economic dynamics constantly evolve, countries are increasingly diversifying their trade relations to protect their interests. The Arab world is no exception. Economic powerhouses like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been expanding their strategic business partnerships with major economies such as China, Russia, and India, while maintaining strong ties with traditional partners like the European Union, the United States, and other nations in the Americas.

Kurdistan and the Middle East Jigsaw Puzzle Atique Naqvi | Boston Masoud Barzani's term ended in August 2015 but he refuses to step down.

Barzani’s latest tweet about the referendum for Kurdish independence and an eventual breakaway from Iraq will add another chapter to the politically charged yet tragic soap opera in the Middle East theater. Barzani’s tweet last week read: “I am pleased to announce that the date for the independence referendum has been set for Monday, September 25, 2017.” The specific tweet not only took the Baghdad-based federal Iraqi government by an unpleasant surprise, it also sent chills in Ankara, Turkey, and Tehran, Iran.
