Overview

  • Lavrov said Russia is in talks with India and China to schedule the first RIC foreign ministers’ meeting since 2020.
  • The trilateral framework went dormant after the deadly Galwan Valley standoff halted ministerial-level dialogue.
  • Diplomatic contacts resumed last week when Indian Ambassador Pradeep Kumar Rawat met China’s Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong in Beijing.
  • Lavrov suggested restoring RIC could kickstart broader pan-Eurasian cooperation and support a shift toward a multipolar global architecture.
  • The Russian foreign minister also called for direct India-Pakistan dialogue to rebuild trust following recent cross-border strikes after the Pahalgam terror attack.
