Russia and China are actively seeking to revive the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral grouping, positioning it as a potential counterweight in shifting global geopolitics.
China has publicly backed Russia's proposal, emphasizing the bloc's value for regional and global stability. However, India has responded cautiously, stating that any revival of the RIC framework will depend on 'mutual convenience' and has not committed to any meetings or formal talks. India's hesitancy is influenced by ongoing tensions with China and its strategic ties with the US, making it wary of fully embracing the RIC format.
The situation highlights India's delicate balancing act between major powers amid a changing world order.
