Rajnath Singh, NSA Doval likely to visit China for SCO talks amid efforts to ease tensions

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and NSA Ajit Doval are set to visit China later this month for SCO meetings, their first such engagement since the India-Pakistan flare-up in May. The visits come amid efforts to ease India-China tensions following the 2020 Ladakh standoff.
