... among nations rather than dominated by a single or a few global powers. India and Russia are both strong advocates for this system, viewing BRICS as a vehicle to reduce the unipolar dominance of the West, particularly the US and its allies.

Moreover, the BRICS grouping, which brings together Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, Iran, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, offers another avenue for Russia–Pakistan cooperation. While India is a member of BRICS, Russia and Pakistan can still find common ground within this framework to address global economic challenges, call for a more equitable world order and collaborate on issues like sustainable development and climate change.

... specific scientific research activities proposed by Russia to develop expertise. Regardless, I do not rule out investment by the New Development Bank in Arctic projects of the AZRF in the future. In my opinion, the most promising project for investment by BRICS countries, including India, is the Eastern Transport and Logistics hub in Vladivostok, which is now scheduled to be completed by 2027-2028. This will include a transshipment terminal for cargo, from ice class to non-ice class vessels. Already, the UAE’s DP World has signed ...

Unpacking GCI: China’s Strategic Vision Comes of Age
Can Moscow make a meaningful contribution to an improvement in China-India relations? The trilateral Russia-India-China (RIC) format has existed for more than 20 years, but it has been gradually overshadowed by BRICS and the SCO. However, maybe the time has come to put more emphasis on RIC.

The BRICS experience in this sense is very illustrative. Russia’s trade and economic interaction with BRICS partners has only grown since the large-scale and unprecedented restrictions were imposed on our country. We are reaching record trade levels with Brazil, India and China.
There has been a steady development of the whole range of cooperation in three key areas: politics and security, economy and finance, and humanitarian contacts. The recent examples of practical achievements in BRICS include the launch ...
... influencing them.
India's approach to the South Caucasus not only correlates with Russian and Iranian regional interests, but also complements them. In this regard, discussing regional issues on existing international platforms involving Russia, Iran and India (e.g. EAEU and BRICS), which Iran has already joined, may be of some interest. There are at least two identifiable instances where Turkey’s may clash. With this in mind, a political or diplomatic response from Ankara cannot be excluded.

Furthermore, Moscow should abstain from any temptations to try building any "anti-Western clubs" out of such multilateral fora—it would not be possible to sell such an approach to India anyway. Instead, BRICS and SCO should be used to search for compromises, including between China and India. RIC—a separate trilateral coordination mechanism with the participation of Russia, India and China—could also develop in this direction.

As for BRICS+, this format could give India an opportunity to advance its own platforms and projects, including North–South transportation corridor projects in addition to China’s initiatives aligned along the West–East axis. For India, BRICS+ could serve as an instrument of influencing the further development of BRICS (including China’s) ties with other states of the Global South. Without being actively involved in shaping the development agenda of BRICS+, India loses an important ...
