India is showing renewed interest in reviving the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral dialogue as global tensions rise and Western dominance faces pushback. Indian officials argue that maintaining strategic ties with both Russia and China is a reasonable approach to safeguard national interests and economic stability, especially regarding energy imports. The move is seen as a way for India to hedge its bets geopolitically, balancing relations with the West while keeping options open with major Eurasian powers. The Indo-Pacific region remains a focal point for strategic friction, with India navigating complex relationships amid growing unilateralism and global conflicts. This potential revival of the RIC dialogue reflects India's pragmatic approach to international alliances in a rapidly changing world order.
