Raksha Mantri to lead Indian delegation at SCO Defence Ministers’ Meeting in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

• Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers' Meeting (DMM) is the apex defence-pillar institutional engagement of the bloc; India is a full member since 2017.
• 2026 DMM held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan on 28 April 2026; Indian delegation led by Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh.
• Examinable because it intersects GS-II (regional groupings, India's neighbourhood, Central Asia) and GS-III (internal security, counter-terrorism).
