Uzbekistan refrains from backing formulation on J&K during Presidents Pakistan visit

Uzbekistan has not supported any position on Jammu and Kashmir during President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's recent visit to Pakistan. This move respects India's sensitivities. A joint statement issued after the visit did not mention the Kashmir issue. Uzbekistan maintains strong historical ties with India. Central Asian nations, including Uzbekistan, view the India-Pakistan dispute as bilateral.
