India Seen as Reliable Growth Partner in Central Asia: Jaishankar
14:50 06.06.2025 (Updated: 14:52 06.06.2025) The region of Central Asia, rich in vital resources like oil, gas, and Uranium, is key to India's energy security.
India's External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar on Friday said that India continues to be a "trusted developmental partner" for Central Asia.
"India deeply cherishes its millennia-old civilizational and cultural ties with Central Asia. These age-old bonds, forged through trade, exchange of ideas, and people-to-people contacts, have strengthened over time, evolving into a partnership defined by shared aspirations, shared opportunities and common challenges," Jaishankar said in his address at the 4th India-Central Asia Dialogue in New Delhi.
"India remains a trusted development partner for all of you. Together with high-tech training slots and ICCR scholarships, which are the most well-known forms of our development partnerships, we also have started providing high-impact community development projects as Indian grants for socio-economic development. Such projects have included equipping schools with computers, and providing hospitals with medical equipment," India's top diplomat added.
The minister further emphasisedthat India and its Central Asian partners
were committed to expanding their cooperation, including in areas like trade, defence, regional connectivity, amongst others.
"Both India and our Central Asian partners are committed to advancing this mutually beneficial cooperation across all sectors, particularly trade and investment, defense, agro-processing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, regional connectivity, security, education, culture, people-to-people exchanges, as well as new and emerging technologies," Jaishankar underscored.
The India-Central Asia dialogue, which also comprises five Central Asian nations - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan- comes at a time when India is going all out to woo nations across the world on the subject of cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan, especially after the Pahalgam terrorist attack in April earlier this year.
Notably, Jaishankar thanked the five Central Asian states for condemning the "heinous terrorist attack" in Pahalgam that left 25 tourists and a local Kashmiri dead
at the picturesque site, resulting in India's counter-terror action, Option Sindoor, against Pakistan last month.
