In a move aimed at balancing America's position in the unipolar international system, Russian Foreign Minister Primakov proposed the formation of a “strategic triangle” of Russia, China, and India to serve as the foundation of global multipolarity. Such plans were stymied by a number of factors. The most important of these was the poor relationship between India and China. Without closer ties between these two powers, the “third side” of the strategic triangle would be impossible. However, the recent rapprochement between India and China has resuscitated the possibilities of the strategic triangle. This article examines the future of the strategic triangle in light of improving Sino-Indian relations. India and China can together reshape the world order. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh 1 1. Quoted in John Lancaster, “India, China Hoping to Reshape the World Order Together,” Washington Post, 12 April 2005, A16
