Russia is holding discussions with India and China about reviving the trilateral cooperation format known as RIC (Russia-India-China), Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko told Russian media.
"This topic is part of our ongoing dialogue with both India and China. We are interested in bringing this format back to life because these three countries are not only important partners but also founding members of BRICS. The absence of the RIC mechanism seems inappropriate under current global conditions," Rudenko stated.
He emphasized that Russia expects the countries to agree on resuming work within the RIC framework, “once their bilateral relations reach a level that allows for productive trilateral engagement.”
