New Delhi, July 27

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has left for Dushanbe, Tajikistan, on a three-day visit to participate in a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers.

A bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wei Fenghe is not planned, but has not been ruled out. Earlier this month, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar was in Dushanbe for the SCO Foreign Ministers’ meeting.

With the deadlock persisting along the LAC, the Rajnath-Wei meet could be a possibility. Besides India, the SCO comprises Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Rajnath will address the meet on Wednesday and discuss defence cooperation. The Ministry of Defence said Rajnath was expected to meet his Tajik counterpart. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
