'Incumbent on Both Sides to Maintain Positive Momentum': Rajnath Singh After Meeting Chinese Defence Minister

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh engaged in discussions with Chinese Defence Minister Admiral Don Jun during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation defence ministers' gathering held in Qingdao on June 27, 2025.
The talks followed a 2020 military standoff and a deadly Galwan Valley clash that severely damaged India-China ties, later softened by a disengagement deal in October 2023.
Singh expressed satisfaction over the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra resuming after nearly six years and presented a Madhubani painting symbolizing wisdom and vitality as a goodwill gesture.
He encouraged both nations to continue progressing in their relationship without introducing additional challenges, highlighting India’s readiness to manage disagreements constructively, improve dialogue, and build greater confidence between the two sides.
These developments indicate ongoing efforts by India and China to reset bilateral relations and sustain dialogue despite past conflicts and challenges at multilateral forums.
