New Delhi: In a first, all five Central Asian countries – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are being invited by New Delhi as guests on Republic Day 2022.
This will be the second time when so many countries will be invited together after 2018 when ASEAN was invited.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had visited all Central Asian countries in 2015, a first by any Indian PM. Notably, the five republics came into being after the breakup of the Soviet Union.
On December 18 and 19, New Delhi will be hosting the Central Asian, India Foreign Minister’s meet. This will be the third such meeting of Central Asian and Indian foreign ministers.
