The congratulatory message came during PM Modi’s two-day State Visit to Uzbekistan, where he held talks with President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and discussed ways to expand bilateral cooperation.
The Uzbek President later conferred the country’s highest civilian honour on PM Modi in recognition of his contribution to taking India-Uzbekistan relations forward and strengthening friendship between the two nations.
The award marks another international recognition for PM Modi as India and Uzbekistan have upgraded their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
While accepting the ‘Oliy Darajali Do‘stlik’ Order, PM Modi dedicated the honour to the people of India. He said the recognition represented the longstanding friendship, shared heritage and cultural links between India and Uzbekistan.
PM Modi further said India would continue working with Uzbekistan as a responsible partner of the Global South and contribute to efforts focused on peace, stability and the welfare of humanity.
