Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will travel to Bishkek on April 27–28 to attend the Defence Ministers’ meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), where regional security challenges and evolving geopolitical dynamics are expected to dominate discussions.
A senior defence official confirmed that Mr. Singh will lead the Indian delegation at the high-level meeting, which will bring together defence ministers from SCO member states. Key issues on the agenda include terrorism, extremism, and regional security concerns amid shifting global alignments.

On the sidelines of the meeting, Mr. Singh is also expected to hold bilateral talks with his counterparts from participating countries, aimed at enhancing defence cooperation and strategic partnerships.
At previous SCO engagement in China last year, Mr. Singh had consistently underscored the need for firm and collective action against terrorism and radicalisation. His stance is expected to feature prominently again during the discussions.
