    Former PM Shastri died in Tashkent in 1966

    Lal Bahadur Shastri had died in Tashkent in January 1966 after signing the Tashkent Declaration that formally ended a war between India and Pakistan. So, a memorial was built there in the former Indian Prime Minister's memory. Earlier, Swaraj met with Speaker of Uzbekistan's Legislative Assembly Nurdinjon Ismoilov and discussed the role of Parliament in fostering a closer people-to-people relationship.

Discussed the role of Parliament in fostering closer people-to-people relationship," MEA spokesperson Kumar said.

    Minister also inaugurated mango festival organized by UP govt

    Swaraj also addressed the Indian community in Tashkent and inaugurated a mango festival organized by the Government of Uttar Pradesh with the participation of mango exporters in Tashkent. "The exporters will visit fruit markets and meet fruit traders," Kumar tweeted. The External Affairs Minister also interacted with Uzbek Indologists, Hindi teachers, and students apart from ITEC and ICCR alumni in the country's capital.

    Discussed bilateral relations with Uzbek Prime Minister

    Swaraj called on Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Abdulla Aripov and held discussions on bilateral relations yesterday. India and Uzbekistan are strategic partners with strong historical and cultural linkages. Swaraj reached Uzbekistan on the final leg of her three-nation tour after visiting Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
