"President Mirziyoyev conveyed his warm greetings and felicitations to Prime Minister and the people of India on the upcoming 79th Independence Day of India," read a statement issued by the Indian government.
During the interaction, the two leaders also exchanged views on regional and global developments of mutual interest, and reiterated their commitment to further strengthen the age-old ties between India and Central Asia.
India and Uzbekistan have relations that go back to ancient history. India was one of the first countries to recognize the state sovereignty of Uzbekistan after the latter’s independence.
The protocol on establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Uzbekistan was signed in Tashkent on 18 March 1992. India and Uzbekistan declared their Strategic Partnership in 2011.
Several institutionalized mechanisms operate at both political and official levels under this partnership, to ensure regular interaction.
India is among top 10 trade partners of Uzbekistan with bilateral trade USD 980.4 million (as per Uzbek statistics-2024) well below potential.
