Russia, China, India responsible for keeping energy markets stable, says senior diplomat
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko pointed to coordinated approaches among the three countries, citing the Bishkek Declaration of the SCO Council of Heads of State.
Russia, China and India bear responsibility for keeping global energy markets stable, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Rudenko said coordinated approaches to international security issues, including the situation surrounding Iran, were reflected in the Bishkek Declaration of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Heads of State.
Coordination among major powers
The remarks point to continued efforts among Russia, China and India to align their positions on energy security and broader geopolitical issues within multilateral frameworks such as the SCO. TASS's report did not provide further detail on specific measures the three countries intend to take regarding energy markets.
The reference to the situation around Iran suggests the coordination Rudenko described extends beyond energy policy to broader regional security matters discussed among SCO members. No additional details on the scope or timeline of this coordination were included in the available report.
The SCO, which includes Russia, China and India among its members, has increasingly served as a platform for these countries to discuss shared economic and security interests.
