Abstract: The global order is undergoing significant transformation, with the China–Shanghai Organization (CSO) summit emerging as a crucial stage for new alignments. India, Russia, and China, three of the most influential powers in Eurasia, are increasingly finding convergence in their strategic interests in response to the disruptive policies pursued by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Russia seeks to counterbalance Western sanctions through closer Asian ties, China positions itself as a leader of multilateralism, and India carefully navigates between safeguarding its sovereignty and expanding its influence. This paper examines the geopolitical shifts at the CSO, focusing on how these three states are responding to Trump’s agenda by strengthening strategic cooperation, diversifying partnerships, and redefining the contours of regional integration. The study argues that these developments mark a gradual reorientation of the global order toward multipolarity, with the CSO playing a central role in shaping post-Trump geopolitical narratives.
