Rajnath Singh on Tuesday reached Dushanbe to attend the annual meeting of the Defence Ministers of SCO member states in Tajikistan.

In the annual meeting, issues like defence cooperation among SCO members are discussed and a communique is expected to be issued after the deliberations. Singh's address at the meeting is slated for today.
