Rajnath, Doval likely to visit China to attend SCO meeting

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval are likely to travel to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meetings. While Singh is likely to travel to Qingdao from June 25-27, Doval is likely to travel to the country from June 24-26, sources said. This will be their first meeting of Singh and Doval with their Chinese counterparts since the military hostilities between India and Pakistan in May this year following India's Operation Sindoor launched in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack. The Indian Armed Forces intercepted and neutralised a range of high-tech foreign weapons used by Pakistan, including Chinese-origin PL-15 air-to-air missiles and Turkish Byker YIHA III Kamikaze drones. Both the Defence Minister and NSA level meetings will also witness participation from Pakistan as well. Pakistan's Defence Minister Khwaja Asif and the country's NSA and DG ISIS, Lt Gen Asim Malik are also expected to attend. China is the host of the SCO leaders' Summit in Tianjin, and these meetings are preparatory for the leaders' meeting to be hosted by President Xi Jinping. This comes in the context of repairing bilateral ties that nosedived after Chinese incursions in 2020 triggered a military standoff along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh. Doval had travelled to Beijing in December last year when India and China agreed on a set of 'six consensus' including resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, trans-border river cooperation and Nathula border trade. This was announced by the two sides following talks in Beijing between NSA Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi who are also the Special Representatives (SRs). That was the first meeting of the SRs since frictions emerged in the Western Sector of the India-China border areas in 2020. The two sides have monitored the implementation of the disengagement agreement of October 2024, resulting in patrolling and grazing in the border areas. The meeting of the Special Representatives had taken place less than two months after a border patrolling arrangement was announced on October 21 which was followed by a meeting between PM Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia on October 23. Now, with Rajnath Singh's first visit and NSA Doval's second visit to China since the disengagement process was completed, the focus will be on the de-escalation and de-induction of troops from both sides, sources said. The two sides have taken some steps including the resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, which has just started, and are also in talks about resumption of direct flights. India and China are also looking at easing visa curbs for Chinese nationals and sharing data on transnational rivers, like the Brahmaputra. Earlier this month, the Indian side had conveyed its support for China's Shanghai Cooperation Organisation presidency. The two sides have also agreed to jointly make preparations for the 24th Special Representatives' Meeting on China-India Boundary Question. Sources said that the Indian side is working towards engaging with the Chinese side, but with 'eyes wide open' as the border situation is still not normal. About 50,000 to 60,000 troops from the Indian and Chinese side are still deployed along the LAC.

Operation Sindoor was swift and precise, says Governor R.N. Ravi

Operation Sindoor will go down in history as a 'war' that achieved its goal, Governor R.N. Ravi said here on Sunday. The war was precise and swift, he added, calling it a watershed moment for India. 'The 88-hour 'war' could have ended earlier, but for Pakistan, which escalated it. We only wanted to teach them a lesson. We exercised restraint by attacking terror camps alone. The absolute clarity at the political, policy, and execution level was a rare combination that enabled us to achieve success,' he said, adding that India was only responding to the terror attack on innocent civilians at Pahalgam in Kashmir. By destroying Pakistan's critical air bases and making them non-operational, India had dealt a blow to Pakistan's efforts. Unlike the wars fought by Ukraine and Russia, and Iran and Israel, India's was precise and swift, he said. India had busted the claim that terrorists functioned autonomously, Mr. Ravi said, adding that there was no distinction between terrorists and Pakistan military. He said the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, which was 'unfair' to India, was a bold move. Mr. Ravi said Tamil Nadu was known for its contribution to Indian military and praised the defence industry for its efforts. The dynamics of war had changed with more unmanned vehicles being deployed. The IIT-M could use its talent to improve the number of patents they register in a year and help the country, he added. He honoured senior officers of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, and praised IIT-M for its work on defence technology. Earlier, Karanbir Singh Brar, Lieutenant-General and General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Dakshin Bharat area in Chennai, recalled his experiences as a GOC in Balakot. The success of the operation depended on the professionalism of the people behind it. The attack on Pakistan was punitive. There was a new normal after the attack, he said. 'As far as Indian Armed Forces are concerned, it is a serious matter and we don't make noise. We made sure that the war was terminated on our term,' he said. Mr. Brar said the damage to Pakistan was there for all to see, and that India did not suffer damage was clear as the allies of Pakistan had not been able to produce any proof of damage, he said. A video film of Operation Sindoor and the damages to Pakistan airbases was also screened.

Lessons from Operation Sindoor's global outreach

The aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, and India's resolute response through 'Operation Sindoor', presented a critical juncture for our nation's foreign policy. While the immediate military action was decisive, the subsequent diplomatic outreach was equally, if not more, vital in shaping global perceptions and consolidating international support. Leading one of the seven all-party parliamentary delegations to five countries in the Western Hemisphere — Guyana, Panama, Colombia, Brazil and the United States — offered me a unique vantage point to reflect on the lessons learned from this intensive period of public diplomacy. Unity behind a strong voice One of the most striking takeaways is the power of national unity in projecting a strong foreign policy voice. The very composition of our delegations, featuring Members of Parliament (MPs) from diverse political parties, different States and varied faiths, was a potent message in itself. It underscored that when it comes to national security and confronting terrorism, India speaks with one voice. This transcended domestic political differences, imbuing our message with greater credibility and gravitas in the eyes of our international interlocutors. Whether engaging with the President of Guyana or the U.S. Vice-President, the collective resolve of India, represented by its varied political spectrum, resonated deeply. Our primary objective was to provide clarity on 'Operation Sindoor' — its rationale, the targeted nature of India's initial strikes against terrorist infrastructure, its calibrated and measured nature, and its avoidance of any harm to civilians and even to Pakistani military facilities. We meticulously explained that India's actions were a legitimate exercise of self-defence, a necessary response to persistent cross-border terrorism. The success of this narrative was evident in the shift witnessed in several capitals. For instance, Colombia's retraction of its initial statement expressing condolences for supposed civilian casualties in Pakistan and its subsequent reaffirmation of support for India's sovereign right to self-defence was a significant diplomatic victory, directly attributable to our detailed and persuasive engagements. This demonstrated that facts, patiently and persistently presented, can overcome initial misunderstandings or even deliberate misinformation. A parallel, and equally crucial, aspect of our outreach was to underscore Pakistan's continued links to terrorism. We consistently highlighted the severity of the threat emanating from across our borders, aiming to build global consensus on holding perpetrators accountable. The engagements in Washington DC were particularly illuminating in this regard. Even as a Pakistani delegation was simultaneously present, we found U.S. representatives, including those who met the Pakistani officials, echoing our concerns and urging decisive action against terror groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. This confirmed that our arguments, grounded in verifiable facts and consistent advocacy, were cutting through the noise and reinforcing the legitimacy of India's position. Beyond the immediate crisis management, the tour served as a powerful reminder of the enduring relevance of soft power diplomacy. The very name 'Operation Sindoor' proved evocative, its cultural resonance helping to explain the depth of the outrage and the resolve it represented. From the widespread embrace of yoga to the global appeal of Bollywood, India's traditions offer a unique pathway to connecting with diverse audiences. It is a compelling reminder that our cultural heritage is not merely for domestic consumption; it is a powerful tool in our diplomatic toolkit, capable of evoking interest and fostering understanding far beyond geopolitical considerations. The 'T's' and Indian strategy Tradition is one of the three 'T's' that I believe should drive India's future global strategy: tech, trade, and tradition all go together in promoting the new India to the world. While India's prowess in IT services is well-established, the next frontier lies in technological products and innovation in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Our diplomatic efforts must actively promote Indian technological breakthroughs and foster collaborative innovation with international partners. This is not just about economic growth; it is about showcasing India as a source of solutions and ingenuity, a nation that contributes meaningfully to global progress. Similarly, trade remains vital to our economic development and global standing. In an increasingly competitive world, particularly in comparison to China, India must proactively expand its trade volumes and diversify its trade basket. Diplomatic outreach must therefore seamlessly blend security concerns with economic opportunities, creating mutually beneficial partnerships. One of my key messages was that India is focused on its growth and development and considers terrorism and war an avoidable distraction; all we want from Pakistan is to be left alone to serve our people. But if they hit us, we will hit back: we are determined to make them pay a price for each assault. Equally, if they desist, we have no desire for conflict. Peace is what allows us to prosper. The tour also brought to the fore the importance of proactive and consistent public diplomacy. Every country we went to welcomed our visit and urged India to send its MPs more often. In addition to public representatives, lawmakers and government leaders, we spoke extensively with think-tankers, influential policy-shapers and national media. The media coverage we garnered, and the quality of the dialogue with foreign policy experts, demonstrated the appetite for India's perspective. This underscores the critical need for intensive engagement with western and mainstream media. A narrative vacuum is easily filled by misinformation, and our consistent presence in global media landscapes is essential to counter false narratives and ensure our story is told accurately and persuasively. This is something we could do better. Furthermore, the visits to countries such as Panama and Guyana, both current non-permanent members of the UN Security Council (UNSC), alongside Colombia, which anticipates a UNSC tenure in 2026, highlighted the strategic imperative of nurturing relationships with a broad spectrum of nations. Panama's explicit support for India's candidature for a permanent seat on the UNSC, articulated by Foreign Minister Javier Martínez Acha, is a testament to the value of direct engagement and the cultivation of long-term diplomatic ties. These are the partners who can amplify India's voice on crucial global platforms. Guiding principles Looking ahead, several actionable recommendations emerge from this experience. We must continue to elevate diplomatic outreach in South and Central America, including reciprocal VVIP visits and augmenting the diplomatic strength of our Missions with greater language proficiency. At the multilateral level, the External Affairs Minister should consider engaging with the UN Secretary-General and UN General Assembly President to specifically address the terrorism issue, ensuring comprehensive briefings to UN representatives and engaging directly even with the sceptics among the UN press corps. Strengthening ties with Brazil, particularly through the Prime Minister's participation in the upcoming BRICS summit and a state visit, remains a high priority given President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's emphasis on the importance he attaches to his relationship with India. And, crucially, India must ramp up its engagements in Guyana to safeguard India's strategic interests in its newly discovered oil resources and burgeoning infrastructure sector Prime Minister Narendra Modi's energy, dynamism and willingness to engage remains a prime asset for India on the global stage, but deserves greater backing. The diplomatic outreach following 'Operation Sindoor' was a moment of national resolve and effective communication. It affirmed that India, when united, can project its voice with clarity and conviction on international platforms. The lessons learned — the power of unity, the efficacy of clear communication, the strategic value of soft power, and the imperative of sustained public diplomacy — will undoubtedly serve as guiding principles as India navigates an increasingly complex international landscape, leveraging its three Ts and always striving for a more just, secure, and prosperous world.
