At the SCO Defence Ministers' meeting, India, represented by Rajnath Singh, refused to sign the joint statement due to a lack of consensus on addressing terrorism. India insisted on including concerns about terrorism, unacceptable to one member.
The Centre said on Thursday that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh participated in the defence ministers' meeting of the SCO and it has concluded after two days. Speaking on the summit, MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that a joint statement could not be adopted and that certain member countries could not reach consensus on certain issues, and hence, the document could not be finalised.
