China, Russia, India working for fairer order

Multi-polarization and globalization remain the broader trend across the world, although the international community seems to be returning to the era of great-power competition. As the main forces behind the building of a new world order by promoting multi-polarization, China, Russia and India should strengthen their cooperation mechanism, deepen collaboration and clarify their respective priorities at different stages of cooperation through regular meetings among their foreign ministers.

But none of the three countries have forged closer relations to challenge the United States' leading role in what used to be a unipolar world after the end of the Cold War, nor have they attempted to reinvent the wheel.

Beijing, Moscow and New Delhi have expressed their willingness to collaborate. And as late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping stated, the "Century of Asia" will not be realized without the development of and cooperation between China and India.
