'Avoid new complexities': Rajnath's strong message to China; meets defence minister Dong Jun on SCO Summit sidelines; Kailash Mansarovar yatra discussed
Friday, 27 June 2025 Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met his Chinese counterpart, Dong Jun, in Qingdao during the SCO Defence Ministers' Meeting, where they discussed the resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Suspended initially due to Covid-19 in 2020 and later due to the Galwan Valley clash, the pilgrimage is now set to resume. Singh also gifted Dong Jun a Madhubani painting from Bihar as a gesture of goodwill.
With World War 3 fears looming and nuclear tensions rising, just 9 nations possess nuclear weapons—led by Russia (5,449) and the U.S. (5,277). China, India, Pakistan, and others follow far behind. While 7 countries have officially declared their arsenals, Israel and North Korea remain ambiguous....

Putin criticized attempts to undermine their leadership, forged through challenging histories, as misguided. The remarks follow Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods, escalating U.S.-India tensions, and highlight a unified stance among SCO leaders against U.S. economic coercion, signaling a shift in global alliances.

In a significant diplomatic development, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on July 15th, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants. During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship.
The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust. He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations.
A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation.
Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle. The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict. This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings.
