On the sidelines of the High-Level International Conference on Glaciers’ Preservation in Dushanbe, Tajikistan’s Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin held a bilateral meeting with Kirti Vardhan Singh, India’s Minister of State for External Affairs, Environment, Forest, and Climate Change.
The Central Asia–India Foreign Ministers' Meeting is set for June 5–6 in New Delhi. In preparation, officials will engage in discussions on regional cooperation.
According to Tajikistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two sides reviewed bilateral ties, exchanged views on key regional issues, and emphasized the importance of deepening strategic cooperation across areas such as trade, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience.
The upcoming meeting in New Delhi will bring together foreign ministers from India and five Central Asian republics—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan—as part of the Central Asia–India dialogue platform launched in 2019 to strengthen multilateral ties across political, economic, and cultural dimensions.
The meeting is expected to focus on regional security, infrastructure connectivity, and energy partnerships, as well as collaborative responses to climate challenges, building on momentum from recent high-level summits such as the Central Asia+Italy Summit, where leaders adopted a joint declaration on shared priorities.
This dialogue format underscores India’s increasing engagement with Central Asia as part of its “Connect Central Asia” policy, aimed at expanding influence in the region amid evolving geopolitical dynamics and growing competition from other regional powers.
