Barely weeks after the ceasefire between the two militaries following Operation Sindoor, Indian Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan and Pakistan’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) General Shamshad Mirza will address parallel sessions at the Shangri-La Dialogue conference in Singapore on Saturday (May 31, 2025).
While the military leaders are not expected to meet, the four-day conflict that broke out when India launched strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, is likely to be one of the issues discussed at the conference, which is hosted annually by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies. French President Emmanuel Macron gave a keynote address on Friday (May 29, 2025), and U.S. Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will both address the conference on Saturday.
