In accordance with Tashkent`s statement, ministerial talks were held on 1 and 2 March 1966. Despite the fact that these talks were unproductive, diplomatic exchanges continued in the spring and summer. The results of these discussions were not obtained due to differences of opinion on the Kashmir issue. The news of Tashkent`s statement shocked the people of Pakistan, who expected India to make more concessions than they got. Things got even worse when Ayub Khan refused to speak and went to solitary confinement instead of announcing the reasons for signing the agreement. Protests and riots took place at various locations in Pakistan. [3] To dispel the anger and concerns of the people, Ayub Khan decided to take the matter before the people on 14 January 1966. This is the difference with Tashkent`s statement that eventually led to the impeachment of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto from the Ayub government, which later founded his own party, the Pakistan People`s Party. Although Ayub Khan was able to satisfy the concerns of the people, Tashkent`s declaration significantly tarnished his image and was one of the factors that led to his downfall. [8] The agreement was negotiated by Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin, who had invited the parties to Tashkent. The parties agreed to remove all armed forces from positions that were occupied before August 5, 1965; Renewing diplomatic relations; and to discuss economic, refugee and other issues.

The agreement was criticized in India because it contained no war pact or renouncement of guerrilla aggression in Kashmir. India has finally signed the three basic logistics and communication agreements (BECA, LEMOA, COMCASA), which under the basis of the defence cooperation framework in India and the United States. The effectiveness of the 2-2 dialogue mechanism can be inferred from the fact that just one month after the discussions, the United States allowed the Indian Navy to lease two MQ-9B Sea Guardian surveillance drones for training and acclimatization, while India took a much larger order for 24 such drones via Foreign Military Sales. It is interesting to note that Sea Guardian drones are stationed on the INS Rajali in Tamil Nadu, southern India, the same naval base where the Indian navy deploys its anti-submarine warfare and P-8I boeing surveillance aircraft from the United States. In June 2016, Tashkent hosted the 15th anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which ended with the signing of a final declaration. It should be noted that neither the official rhetoric around the summit nor the majority of the analytical pieces associated with it mentioned another memorable date – the fiftieth anniversary of the 1966 Tashkent Declaration, which concluded a peace agreement between India and Pakistan. The fact that in 2015-16, these two Asian powers are moving towards full membership of the CSS is wrongly seen as a success for the organization. The new Asian Perspectives blog has decided to recall recent diplomatic history. A high-level multi-sector delegation led by Uzbek Foreign Minister Abdulaziz Kamilov visited India from 21 to 23 August 2017. The delegation included H.E.

Doval, Minister of State for Trade and Industry (Independence Charge), Nirmala Sitharaman, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Shri M.J. Akbar, and other commitments. During the delegation`s visit, an Uzbek-Indian economic forum was held on 22 August 2017. 22 contracts worth more than $80 million and 20 investment agreements worth more than US$70 million were signed at the Forum.
