Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed Moscow's interest in resuming the multilateral "Russia – India – China" (RIC) format. According to him, amid positive signals in relations between Delhi and Beijing, it is time to return to active cooperation within this strategic trio.
Speaking at an international forum in Perm, Lavrov recalled that the RIC format, initiated by Yevgeny Primakov, previously served as an important platform for coordinating the efforts not only of foreign ministries, but also of trade, economic, and financial institutions. Russia sees potential in renewing this mechanism in the context of building a security architecture for Greater Eurasia.
