The news is coming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can visit China in the month of September. In fact, PM Modi can go to attend the SCO summit to be held in Tiazing city of China and where he can meet not only Chinese President Xi Jinping. Russian President Vladimir Putin may also meet PM Modi. You will remember that the Chinese President and Russian President were absent at the recent BRICS summit held in Brazil. There were many reasons for not going to Xi Jinping. Sometimes the resentment of PM Modi’s state dinner and sometimes the situation came to light inside the CPC. At the same time, an arrest warrant has come out from the International Court in the name of Vladimir Putin. Keeping him in mind, he was not present. But Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin will also be present at the SCO summit. At the same time, the media is being claimed that PM Modi can also go there. In such a situation, the three big leaders will be present at the SCO summit. These developments are coming out at a time when discussions about the tri -coalition of China, Russia and India have intensified.
Essential for world peace and progress
Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenco quoted that Moscow expects the restoration of the RIC format and is interacting with Beijing and New Delhi on the issue. Andrei Rudenco said that the subject is involved in our conversation with both countries. We are interested in making this format successful, as the three countries (India, China, Russia) are important partners in addition to the founders of BRICS. Therefore, in my opinion the lack of RIC format is unfair. We hope that the concerned countries will agree to start work again within the RIC structure. Of course, when the relationship between these countries will reach the level that allows them to work in the trilateral format.

What did India say on this
