During the visit, PM Modi will likely hold delegation-level discussions with Mirziyoyev. The talks will likely cover trade and investment, digital connectivity, defence and energy, alongside the two countries’ development goals of Viksit Bharat 2047 and Uzbekistan-2030.
“In recent years, India-Uzbekistan Strategic Partnership has seen significant advancement,” PM Modi said before his departure, adding that he looked forward to discussions on expanding bilateral cooperation and advancing the shared vision of Viksit Bharat and Yangi Uzbekistan.
The Prime Minister will visit the Shastri Memorial and the Mahatma Gandhi Centre at Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, highlighting the cultural and people-to-people ties between India and Uzbekistan.
