After PM Modi, Rajnath Singh to skip Russia’s Victory Day parade; junior minister Sanjay Seth to attend: Report
Saturday, 3 May 2025 Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is unlikely to attend Russia's Victory Day parade on May 9, with Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth expected to represent India. This decision occurs amidst heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. Russia had initially invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the event.

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.
