Russia and China are actively seeking to revive the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral grouping, positioning it as a counterweight in shifting global geopolitics.
China has publicly backed Russia's proposal, emphasizing the bloc's potential to enhance regional and global stability. However, India remains cautious and non-committal, citing 'mutual convenience' as a prerequisite for any renewed engagement, amid ongoing tensions with China and close ties with the US. The RIC framework has been largely inactive due to recent geopolitical rifts and the pandemic, and India's hesitancy reflects its desire to balance relations with both Western and Eastern powers.
The outcome of these diplomatic overtures could reshape alliances and influence the emerging world order.
