With the BRICS summit to be held next month, the presidents of india, china, and russia are expected to speak together at the summit. However, in the past, the relationship between india and china has not been so good. In this situation, will india be included in the three-nation alliance again? Will prime minister Narendra Modi agree to this? It is a questionable question. The three countries have already jointly hosted a summit called IRC (RIC). It was created by the initiative of former Russian prime minister Yevgeny Primakov.

12 years after the first summit, the second summit was held on the sidelines of the G-20 summit held in Buenos Aires in 2018. The next year, i.e. in 2019, the third RIC summit was held during the G-20 summit in Osaka. But this summit has not been held since 2020. The entire world was paralyzed at that time due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Before this problem could be resolved, there was a clash between the indian and Chinese military personnel. Therefore, the summit did not take place directly. However, the summit was held via video call. Only External Affairs minister Jaishankar participated in it on behalf of India.
In this situation, the three leaders will meet in person again at the BRICS summit to be held next month. There is a possibility that the IRC summit will also be held as part of this summit. Will Modi participate in it on behalf of India? It is a question mark. russia, which hosted this summit, is interested. The country's Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said, "We are very interested in hosting this summit. Because we are the ones who initiated it." It is said that India's participation in it is doubtful. Although the conflict with china has affected bilateral relations, china has supported pakistan instead of supporting us in the recent Operation Sindoor operation carried out by India. india cannot accept this. Therefore, participation in this is out of the question. But on the other hand, this meeting is very important. That is, India's automobile industry runs on rare earth magnets exported from China. Now china has stopped these exports. Therefore, india has been forced to stop production. Modi can use this conference to insist that exports to india should be resumed. Therefore, it is also said that he has a chance to participate in this. Whatever happens, we have to wait and see. Everyone expects Modi to participate and continue the trade relationship between india and china without any hindrance.
