Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is set to represent India at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers' meeting in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Tuesday. The meeting will address current geopolitical developments, particularly the conflicts in West Asia, with discussions aimed at reducing their impact. Iran, a key member of the SCO, is expected to participate, highlighting the importance of regional cooperation. Singh is anticipated to underscore India's commitment to global peace and its firm stance against terrorism. The SCO, established in 2001, includes members such as India, Russia, China, and several Central Asian nations, and serves as a significant political and economic platform in the region. Bilateral talks between Singh and his counterparts from other member countries are also expected to take place during the summit.
