The Indian and Chinese defense ministers will hold talks in New Delhi, the first such meeting on Indian soil between the two nuclear-armed neighbors since deadly clashes claimed the lives of multiple soldiers along their disputed border in the Himalayas.
China’s newly appointed defense minister Li Shangfu will meet his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation defense ministers’ meeting, the Indian defense ministry’s spokesperson A. Bharat Bhushan Babu told CNN Thursday. Li, who stepped into the role last month, is visiting New Delhi alongside counterparts from Russia and several Central Asian countries.
On Tuesday, China’s Ministry of Defense said Li will “communicate and exchange views on issues of the international and regional situations as well as defense and security cooperation,” at the SCO gathering. Earlier this month, he met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in his first overseas trip since assuming the role, as China and Russia continue to bolster ties while Western countries ramp up pressure on Beijing to push Putin to end his war against Ukraine.
