Singh was originally scheduled to visit Ladakh on July 3 but the trip was deferred.

Indian and Chinese troops were locked in a bitter standoff in multiple locations in eastern Ladakh for over eight weeks since May 5.

The tension escalated manifold after the violent clashes in Galwan Valley in which 20 Indian Army personnel were killed.

However, following a series of diplomatic and military talks, the two sides began a mutual disengagement process on July 6 and withdrew troops from most of the friction points.

No power in the world can touch even an inch of India's land: Rajnath Singh in Ladakh

WION Dispatch: Rajnath Singh inaugurates 6 bridges in J&K via video conferencing | India News

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday attended the 75th Anniversary of Victory Day Parade in Moscow, where a contingent of the Indian Armed Forces was also participating.

Singh arrived in Moscow on a three-day visit on Tuesday at the invitation of the Russian Ministry of Defence to attend the 75th Anniversary of Victory Day Parade.

Singh is the first senior union minister to undertake a foreign visit in four months as international travels were restricted due to the coronavirus pandemic. He travelled by an Indian Air Force aircraft, while strictly following all laid precautions against the coronavirus infection.

Pictures showed that social distancing being maintained at the Red Square where the parade will take place.

The Tri-service 75-member Indian military contingent participated alongside armed forces personnel from at least 11 countries, including China.

On Tuesday, he called on Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov and the two leaders held discussions on the bilateral relationship, regional issues, and reviewed the India-Russia defence cooperation.

Singh also conveyed his greetings for the solemn ceremonies of the 75th Victory Day and congratulated the "friendly" people of Russia, specially the veterans, who have contributed to the common security of India and Russia, an official statement said on Tuesday.

Russia postponed its military parade traditionally held on Moscow's Red Square on May 9 for a later date due to the coronavirus pandemic.

On May 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the Victory Parade would be held on Moscow's Red Square on June 24, TASS news agency reported.

He explained that this was chosen because on June 24, 1945 the legendary historic parade of victors took place, when soldiers, who fought for Moscow and defended Leningrad, who stood their ground for Stalingrad, liberated Europe and stormed Berlin, marched on Red Square.

All this happened in the wake of India China clash at the LAC border.

And despite China's growing influence in Russia, Moscow chose to not take sides.

Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, had said, when asked about the India China standoff: "You know, we have never had such a goal to help India and China to develop bilateral relations. They have every opportunity to solve and consider any problems that arise in relations between them, and problems arise between any countries, including, of course, in between neighbours."

Such a calibrated response seen alongside India's participation in the victory day parade is a signal -- that the India-Russia relationship remains strong.

Both India and China have made their stand on Galwan very clear. What remains to be seen is Russia's leaning. Will Moscow back its old friend India, or will it support China?

What's at stake

First is&nbsp;trade as China is Russia's&nbsp;top trading partner. In 2018, the bilateral trade between the two countries stood at 108.3 billion dollars. Germany, which is Russia's second biggest trade partner accounted for trade worth 59.6 billion dollars -- almost half.

When it comes to India, bilateral trade with Russia has been between 7 to 8 billion dollars for almost a decade now. In 2017, the India-Russia bilateral trade was less than a tenth of China-Russia trade.

So, when its comes to economy, Russia is highly dependent on Beijing. Russia is a part of China's Belt and Road Project.

Then,&nbsp;there is the Siberia gas pipeline project. The two countries also share geographical proximity, but the tide turns when it comes to defense.

Russia is India's largest defense supplier. In the last couple of years, the two countries have signed several defense deals. There is the 5.2 billion dollar deal for S-400 missile defense systems.

In 2019, India also signed a deal worth 2 billion dollars for the T-90 tanks. The Akula class nuclear-powered submarine deal was worth 3 billion dollars. These are just a few examples.

India was once among of the closest allies of Russia. This was until 2014; this has less to do with the change in government in Delhi, and more to do with Russia's annexation of Crimea. There were international sanctions and Russia leaned towards China. India, on the other hand, has been building ties with the United States, Japan and&nbsp;West Asia.

Over the years, Russia has cemented its ties with China and this is not specific to any government in Delhi.

In 2017, Russian diplomats in Beijing were briefed by the Chinese government about the Doklam stand-off. They were among the few to have been brought into the loop, but Russia did not take a stand against India.

How has it reacted so far on Galwan?

Russia has assured its support to New Delhi when it comes to resolving issues with China. Russia's Deputy Chief of Mission to India, Roman Babushkin, said,&nbsp;"we hope that the tensions will soon de-escalate."

Russian media recent quoted presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov as saying "China and India are Russia's close partners and allies, and have close and mutually beneficial relations built on mutual respect."

Moscow believes in a multi-vector foreign policy. It has tried to stay out of the US-China trade war, and when it comes to India-China stand-off too, Moscow is likley to play safe. It will not take sides, at least not openly.

India-US concludes 2+2 dialogue; Agrees to expand bilateral ties

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said that Pakistan has made terrorism it's 'state policy'&nbsp;and is not 'mending its ways'.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended the 142nd passing out parade of Indian Military Academy (IMA) in Dehradun today.

While addressing the passing out cadets here, Singh said, "Pakistan has made terrorism its state policy. They have fought four wars and lost all of them but they are a strange neighbour and not mending its ways. So, you (cadets who are passing out) have to prepare yourself to face terrorism."

"When you were walking in front of my eyes with your measured and padded steps, I was seeing a picture of a safe and golden India in you. Your ability to walk step by step and shoulder to shoulder helps in achieving any major goal. This ability makes our army and armed forces strong," he added.

Defence Minister further added that the Central government has adopted a multi-pronged strategy against terrorism, which has given positive results.

"The entire world knows that if the mastermind of 9/11 and terrorist organisation Al Qaeda was found somewhere, it was found in Pakistan. The whole world also knows that the people of Lashkar-e-Toiba, who carried out 26/11 attacks, are sitting there in Pakistan," said Singh.

"Despite this, there is a need to be vigilant always about the threat of terrorism because in Pakistan, along with the terrorism state policy, there exist non-state actors who are extremely powerful that their role in Pakistan`s theatre is nothing more than that of puppets," he added.

Singh asserted that the people who died in 26/11 Mumbai attack and their families will get justice on the day when the people who carried out the attack, will be brought to an end.

"The 166 people who died in 26/11 attack and their families will get justice on the day when those who carried out the attack will be brought to their final conclusion," said Singh.

The Defence Minister also stated that the government has perceptional differences with China regarding the border as the clear demarcation of the border has been pending for a long time now.

Therefore, the Indian Army will always have to act with valour as well as discretion on the Northern Front and North-Eastern Front.

"The Indian Army has proved this many time in the last few years, when required it worked with discretion and did confrontation avoidance and when a different situation was created in Doklam, the Army showed strong will power," said Singh.

Singh on Friday arrived at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun. The passing out parade is being held on the occasion of Armed Forces Flag Day.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended the 142nd passing out parade of Indian Military Academy (IMA) in Dehradun today. While addressing the passing out cadets here, Singh said, "Pakistan has made terrorism its state policy. They have fought four wars and lost all of them but they are a strange neighbour and not mending its ways. So, you (cadets who are passing out) have to prepare yourself to face terrorism." "When you were walking in front of my eyes with your measured and padded steps, I was seeing a picture of a safe and golden India in you. Your ability to walk step by step and shoulder to shoulder helps in achieving any major goal. This ability makes our army and armed forces strong," he added.
