| SCO Summit: From Expanded Role To Revival Of RIC | | |
Asad Mirza
The recent SCO Summit in Tianjin has provided India a timely opportunity to reset its ties with China and also prodded Russia to revive the old Russia, India, and China (RIC) forum. RIC may emerge as a potential defence against the US’s tariff mania by increasing trilateral cooperation and trade.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s (SCO) Summit in Tianjin in China, has emerged as the forum, where old enmities were forgotten and new ties amended, all due to theatrics of one single person, i.e. the US President Donald Trump.
Though the focus of the SCO Summit was bilateral and multilateral issues, yet the most important output was the meetings between the Indian ... |

By Aditya Rangroo
The success of India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ launched on 6-7 May against terrorist camps based in Pakistan and POJK, has demonstrated India’s defence prowess. It speaks of her competence and determination to fight terrorism abetted by her Western neighbour since 1990s.
