The Economic Times reported on January 22 that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov hopes to restart the Russia-India-China trilateral cooperation to promote a multipolar international order. Lavrov stated that the current world order is accelerating toward multipolarity, and the international status and influence of BRICS countries and African nations are continuously rising, becoming new growth points in the global political and economic system. As one of the key founding countries of the BRICS mechanism, Russia intends to revitalize the Russia-India-China trilateral cooperation to promote the construction of an international order beyond bipolar or unipolar confrontation. Previously, on September 1, 2025, the leaders of China, Russia, and India held an informal trilateral meeting in Tianjin. This meeting was seen as a positive signal released by the three countries in a complex and fragile geopolitical environment, reflecting the common intention of all parties to maintain communication and deepen cooperation within a multilateral framework.
