NEW DELHI: The 15th edition of Russia-India-China trilateral foreign ministerial meet in New Delhi on Monday will focus on the need for stability in the Asia-Pacific region amid Beijing’s growing expansionist agenda, along with other global and regional challenges, a person close to the development said. India wants China to make its strategy for Asia-Pacific inclusive and responsible, rather than an exclusive approach that Beijing seems to have adopted, and hectic parleys are underway to arrive at a common position on this in Russia-India-China ( RIC ) trilateral.The Indo-US-Japan-Australia quadrilateral is also aimed at making China a responsible global power that respects international law, said the person.India’s narrative revolves around nomenclature of Indo-Pacific that now has support of Japan, Australia and the USA besides SE Asian countries.But this is easier said than done in the backdrop of China’s One Belt One Road initiative in SE Asia, which is unilateral in its approach and has implications for India’s security, its unilateral action in South China Sea region and disregard for the verdict of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in the case with Philippines, and its military agenda in the Indian Ocean region. “This is the precise reason why India wants an inclusive and responsible approach from Beijing,” said the person cited earlier.The three sides are making efforts to avoid any reference to either India-led connectivity initiatives or Beijing-led connectivity initiatives in the RIC joint communique.Russia, which has not been a big player in the Asia-Pacific region in recent decades, has also shown signals that it wants to acquire a wider role than before. Moscow’s relations with Japan are showing signs of improvement and it is keen to strengthen its ties with South Korea and Southeast Asia, including its traditional ally Vietnam.Russia reportedly has misgivings about Beijing’s expansionist tendencies in its resource-rich Far East and, among other countries, wants India to expand its presence in that region. The three countries had held a trilateral meet on the Asia-Pacific security architecture in December 2016 in Beijing. The last RIC foreign ministers’ meet in Moscow in April 2016 also had a formulation on Asia-Pacific region.
