Rajnath to flag concerns over terrorism at SCO conclave in China

NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is set to pitch for ramping up collaborative efforts to eliminate terrorism and extremism at a two-day conclave of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) that begins in China’s Qingdao on Wednesday.

Singh is travelling to Qingdao, a port city in China’s eastern Shandong province, for the conclave that is expected to deliberate on the evolving regional security scenario.

It is the first visit to China by a senior Indian minister after the ties came under severe strain following the military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh that began in May 2020. PTI
