HR 3307 declares congressional support for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor and existing diplomatic formats like the U.S.-Greece-Israel-Cyprus "3+1" group and the East Mediterranean Gas Forum. It directs the Secretary of State to prioritize the Eastern Mediterranean region for energy security and defense cooperation, and requires several reports, including on energy and defense projects, multilateral initiatives, a Cyprus-based security center, and a feasibility study on joint research programs.
The bill mainly affects the State Department, Energy Department, and Homeland Security officials handling regional diplomacy, plus businesses and researchers in energy, defense, or scientific cooperation with these countries.
By formalizing diplomatic priorities and reporting requirements, the bill could shape future funding decisions, agreements, and infrastructure projects, while also positioning the U.S. within a broader geopolitical competition tied to China's Belt and Road Initiative.
