Indian defence chief visits Moscow amid China tensions
Amidst rising border tension with China, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh yesterday embarked on a three-day visit to Russia during which he will hold talks with top Russian military brass.
Singh's visit is primarily to attend a grand military parade in Moscow to mark the 75th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
His visit to Russia comes in the midst of an escalating border standoff between India and China, particularly after the killing of 20 Indian Army personnel by Chinese troops in eastern Ladakh's Galwan Valley on June 15.
