India and Uzbekistan elevate ties to Comprehensive Strategic Partnership
Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed a state visit to Uzbekistan, where he and President Shavkat Mirziyoyev elevated bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The visit resulted in numerous agreements covering defense, digital public infrastructure, AI, space exploration, critical minerals, and energy. A key outcome includes a framework for the long-term supply of uranium from Uzbekistan to India and a target to increase annual bilateral trade to $5 billion by 2030.
During the visit, President Mirziyoyev conferred the ‘Oliy Darajali Do’stlik’ honor upon Prime Minister Modi. Uzbekistan also announced visa-free entry for Indian citizens for stays of up to 30 days to bolster tourism and cultural ties.
Following his visit to Tashkent, Prime Minister Modi traveled to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, to attend the 26th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. The summit, which marks the organization's 25th anniversary, involves leaders including Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. Discussions at the summit are expected to focus on regional security, terrorism, and the geopolitical impacts of conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia.
