Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh will visit Dushanbe, Tajikistan to represent India at the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation scheduled for October 19-20, 2026. The meeting will focus on strengthening multilateral cooperation among SCO Member States in areas including trade, economy, investment, connectivity, innovation, and cultural-humanitarian exchanges. The gathering is also expected to review progress of ongoing cooperation initiatives and consider decisions relating to the Organisation's financial and institutional functioning.
India remains actively engaged in various SCO mechanisms and contributes to regional cooperation through initiatives in areas such as start-ups and innovation, digital public infrastructure, and people-to-people exchanges. The meeting provides an opportunity for India to exchange views with other SCO Member States on advancing practical and mutually beneficial cooperation within the Organisation. The previous CHG meeting was held in Moscow, Russia on November 18, 2025, where India was represented by External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar.
