A Strategic Pivot to Central Asia
Prime Minister Modi departed on August 29 for a four-day visit to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan—a move with direct implications for India’s outbound and connectivity strategy . Discussions with President Mirziyoyev in Tashkent will focus on deepening trade, digital connectivity, and energy partnerships. The visit to the Shastri Memorial and Mahatma Gandhi Centre underscores a deliberate push to strengthen people-to-people ties in Central Asia . For B2B operators, this signals potential new air routes, eased visa regimes, and an emerging Central Asian tourist corridor from India.
In Bishkek, the Prime Minister will attend the 26th SCO Summit and the opening of the 6th World Nomad Games—an event celebrating Central Asian heritage that India “holds in deep respect” . The message: India is positioning itself as a gateway to Central Asian tourism and cultural exchange.
