India is showing renewed interest in reviving the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral dialogue as global tensions rise and Western influence grows. Indian officials argue that maintaining strategic ties with both Russia and China is a pragmatic move to safeguard national interests and economic stability, especially regarding energy imports. The Indo-Pacific region has become a focal point for testing these relationships, with India seeking to balance its partnerships amid increasing geopolitical friction. This cautious approach reflects India's desire to hedge its bets and avoid over-reliance on any single bloc. The potential revival of the RIC dialogue signals a broader effort among non-Western powers to counterbalance Western dominance on the world stage.
