Russia and China are actively seeking to revive the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral grouping, positioning it as a counterbalance in a shifting global order.
China has publicly backed Russia's initiative, emphasizing the potential benefits for regional and global stability. However, India remains cautious and non-committal, citing the need for 'mutual convenience' and ongoing concerns about its relationships with both China and the US. The RIC framework has been largely inactive due to recent geopolitical tensions and the pandemic, and India's hesitancy reflects its desire to maintain strategic autonomy.
The outcome of these diplomatic overtures could reshape alliances and influence the balance of power in Eurasia.
