The ambassador told PTI that the approach of the RIC is very different from the policy of some powers, which, he said, "purposefully misuse" disagreements between India and China.
The Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral has "incredible potential" for cooperation among the three countries, and it could be a supportive framework to promote constructive dialogue between New Delhi and Beijing, Russian Ambassador Denis Alipov said.
The ambassador told PTI that the approach of the RIC is very different from the policy of some powers, which, he said, "purposefully misuse" disagreements between India and China.
Mr Alipov also criticised the US-led 'Indo-Pacific" initiative, saying it is part of a "containment policy", but appreciated India's position at Quad for refusing to endorse its "divisive" statements.
The ambassador told PTI that the RIC has been instrumental in increasing "mutual understanding, trust and stability" in the region, and it can contribute further to boosting cooperation and coordination among the member states.
