Ambassador Tamir Ahmad, who served as India’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Oman and the UAE, and was the Director General of the Indian Council of World Affairs, was interviewed by RT on May 5. He warned that “The West is crumbling into barbarism, signaling the end of the old order.” He added that China and Russia will be seen as playing a larger political and diplomatic role in global affairs after the Iran war is over, noting that Russia and China are strong supporters of Iran.
Polemicizing against those in India who want to make a deal with the West and scuttle India’s relationship with the BRICS, SCO, and China, in particular, Ahmad told RT that “the Russia-India-China (RIC) troika should be at the heart of Indian diplomacy and foreign policy. A trilateral entity in which Moscow is close to both Beijing and New Delhi ensures balance in ties...and if there are issues that agitate India and China, Russia’s presence will have a positive impact.”
