MOSCOW, March 17. /TASS/. The Russia-India-China format has a great future for the establishment of a multi-polar world, Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov said on Thursday.

"Russia, as well as India and China are the three largest states in the Eurasian space, and there is no other way than interaction, in this format in particular," the diplomat said. "This format has a great future, and in fact it reflects the objective situation that is taking shape on the track of geopolitics, namely the strengthening and further development of a multi-polar world," Alipov told Rossiya-24 TV channel.

According to him, India not only understands the aims of the special operation in Ukraine, it also understands its origins in the context of security in Europe. "In fact this is also among the reasons why India now takes a rather balanced position regarding the escalation that we see," the diplomat added.
