Avoid actions that complicate region's situation: Rajnath at ASEAN meet
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called on members of ASEAN and its dialogue partners "to exercise self-restraint" and avoid actions that complicate the situation, in a veiled reference to China. His comments came amid the India-China military standoff in eastern Ladakh. Singh said, "threats to the rules-based order, maritime security, cyber-related crimes and terrorism" remain challenges for ASEAN.
