08/29/2026 August 29, 2026 Modi is en route to Uzbekistan for bilateral talks Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi left for a state visit to Uzbekistan , where he is set to discuss ways of deepening cooperation with President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
Ahead of departure, Modi said he looked forward to his discussions with the Uzbek president to "further deepening our cooperation in trade and investment, digital connectivity, defence, energy, and on advancing our shared visions of Viksit Bharat and Yangi Uzbekistan."
"Viksit Bharat" roughly translates to "Developed India" and is a commonly used term by Modi and his ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. "Yangi Uzbekistan" translates to "New Uzbekistan" and is a political slogan used by Mirziyoyev.
On Saturday, Modi will attend a dinner hosted by Mirziyoyev, followed by bilateral engagements with him on Sunday at the Presidential Palace.
After his two-day state visit to Uzbekistan, Modi will travel to the Kyrgyz Republic to attend the 26th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, where he is also scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin.

Hundreds of Indians remain missing in the devastating Nepal-Tibet flash floods , as of the Indian foreign ministry's last update. Most of those unaccounted for or stranded were either working in Nepal or were pilgrims visiting the Kailash Mansarovar site in China's Tibet.
Indian embassies in Kathmandu and Beijing are working closely with local authorities, and Delhi has sent at least three tranches of aid.
