PM Modi thanked the Uzbek President for the gesture and said his fourth visit to Uzbekistan reflected the growing momentum in bilateral ties.
During the visit, PM Modi will likely hold delegation-level talks with President Mirziyoyev.
Discussions are expected to cover trade and investment, digital connectivity, defence and energy, as well as the shared development goals of Viksit Bharat 2047 and Uzbekistan-2030.
