As per reports the conference was attended by 40 Indian and 27 international delegates. The inaugural session was addressed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
This was the first such event hosted by India after it became a full time member of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in 2017. Pakistan too became its member in the same year.
During the course of the two day event, Pakistan's seat at the venue remained vacant but its delegates decided to turn up at the dinner organised in the evening.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
