Russia and China are actively seeking to revive the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral mechanism, positioning it as a potential counterweight in shifting global geopolitics. China has publicly backed Russia's initiative, emphasizing the bloc's value 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. India's hesitancy is influenced by ongoing tensions with China and its strategic ties with the US, making it wary of being drawn into a bloc that could complicate its foreign policy balancing act. The situation highlights the complexities of current international alliances and India's desire to maintain diplomatic flexibility.
