Agency Report

China said Thursday it will send a delegation of experts and scholars from its army’s study institutions to attend Asia’s premier security forum in Singapore.

The Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia’s top international defence summit, kicks off in the city-state on Friday.

The meeting has historically offered rare opportunities for senior officials to hold face-to-face talks, and will be attended by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this year.
