Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu and Chinese defence minister Li Shangfu will be in Delhi next week for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Defence ministers' meetings, Wion News reports.

The in-person defence ministers meeting will take place in Delhi from 27th to 28th April 2023, hosted by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh, the article adds.

Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu will visit India for the first time since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict last year, it notes, adding that despite the conflict, India-Russia ties have remained active with high-level engagements, such as the recent visit of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov for the 24th India-Russia Inter-governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation (IRIGC-TEC).
