India is showing renewed interest in reviving the Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral dialogue, a move reflecting its strategic balancing act amid intensifying global rivalries. This cautious openness comes as India continues to defend its economic ties with Russia, particularly regarding oil imports, despite Western pressure. The RIC framework is being reconsidered as a potential counterweight to Western dominance and as a means to navigate the complex geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific region. Analysts suggest that such a tactical alliance could help these countries assert greater influence in global affairs. However, significant ideological and strategic differences remain, making the future of this trilateral cooperation uncertain.
