June 26, Pozirk. <\/strong>Belarusian Defense Minister Viktar Chrenin and his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh held talks on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization defense ministers’ meeting in China’s Qingdao today, the Belarusian defense office reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur countries hold the same positions on current issues of international security. Belarus and India are in solidarity on the need to follow the path of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve existing conflicts,\u201d the defense ministry said, commenting on the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the two countries\u2019 positions on Israel\u2019s recent strikes on Iran are similar in a way, in contrast to other members of the SCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SCO, on behalf of its member states, had condemned Israel for attacking the bloc\u2019s member Iran. However, Belarus and India refrained from issuing individual condemnations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian foreign office expressed concern about the conflict in the Middle East and called on the parties to engage in dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indian foreign office stated that New Delhi had not participated in the discussion of that SCO statement critical of Israel and effectively removed the country from the list of signatories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
