Russia and China are actively seeking to revive the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral alliance, positioning it as a counterbalance in the 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, stating that any revival of the RIC framework depends on 'mutual convenience' and has not agreed to any meetings yet. The move comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions, with the US reportedly concerned about the bloc's potential to reshape alliances.
India's hesitancy reflects its desire to balance relations with both Western and Eastern powers without jeopardizing its strategic interests.
