EXPANDING INDIA UZBEKISTAN TIES AS A FACTOR OF PEACEFUL COOPERATION IN THE REGION

What binds India and Uzbekistan is not necessarily the shared, historical past of both countries, not exactly the innumerable interactions from the years of the Kushan empire transcending through the Silk Roads affecting various aspects of our lives, but surely the commonness of approach to various modern issues facing our societies. Modern times are different from the hoary past, frontier areas of science and technology gallop past the antiquity so rapidly that it calls upon us to synthesize the past with present to look at the future. India and Central Asia have maintained a historical relationship through the millennia, particularly Uzbekistan. It is of significance to note that the Great Silk Road connected our peoples in the days of yore.
