Russia and China are actively seeking to revive the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral alliance, positioning it as a key platform for regional and global stability amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.
China has publicly endorsed Russia's initiative, emphasizing the benefits of trilateral cooperation. However, India remains cautious and non-committal, citing 'mutual convenience' as a prerequisite for any renewed engagement, and is wary due to ongoing tensions with China and its strategic ties with the US. The RIC format, which has been largely inactive in recent years, is seen by Moscow and Beijing as a counterbalance to Western influence, but India's participation is uncertain.
The situation underscores India's delicate balancing act between major global powers as the world order evolves.
