'Every citizen should contribute to welfare of soldiers and their families': Rajnath Singh
Monday, 3 March 2025 Defence minister Rajnath Singh called on citizens to contribute to the welfare of soldiers and their families, emphasizing it as a national duty. Speaking at the AFFD CSR Conclave in New Delhi, he highlighted the bravery of India's armed forces and the government’s commitment to their well-being. He praised corporate contributions to the AFFD Fund and stressed the role of the private sector in achieving Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.

India has refused to endorse the SCO's strong condemnation of Israel’s military strikes on Iran, signalling a diplomatic divergence within the Eurasian bloc. While China, Russia, and others denounced Israel’s actions, New Delhi maintained a neutral stance—underscoring its strategic balancing act between Iran and Israel. As India deepens its defence ties with Israel and economic interests with Iran, experts say New Delhi is trying to avoid choosing sides amid Trump’s sanctions, escalating tensions, and looming global instability.

In a decisive national address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared India's unwavering stance against terrorism and cross-border aggression. He emphasized that any future discussions with Pakistan would be solely focused on terrorism and the status of illegaly Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), asserting that "terror, talks, and trade cannot go hand in hand." Modi highlighted the success of Operation Sindoor, a strategic military operation that not only targeted terrorist infrastructure but also showcased the efficacy of India's indigenous defense technologies. This operation marks a significant step towards self-reliance in defense, aligning with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and reinforcing India's commitment to national security.
