Russia and China are actively seeking to revive the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral framework, positioning it as a key platform for regional and global stability amid shifting geopolitical alliances.
China has publicly backed Russia's initiative, emphasizing the benefits of trilateral cooperation. However, India has responded cautiously, stating that any revival of the RIC mechanism depends on 'mutual convenience' and has not committed to any meetings or formal talks. India's hesitancy is influenced by its complex relationships with both the US and China, as well as ongoing border tensions with Beijing.
The situation highlights India's strategic balancing act as it navigates between Western partnerships and non-Western groupings like RIC and BRICS.
