Story summary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will begin a four-day trip on Saturday (August 29, 2026) to strengthen ties with Uzbekistan and attend the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Kyrgyzstan. In the first leg of the trip, Mr. Modi will visit Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, from August 29 to 30 to explore ways to further bolster bilateral ties in diverse sectors. From Uzbekistan, he will travel to Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, on a two-day visit to attend the SCO summit, where he will address the gathering and highlight India's priorities of security, connectivity, and opportunity. The summit marks the 25th anniversary of the SCO, of which India has been a full member since 2017.

During the trip, Modi is expected to meet with leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, among others. This meeting comes against the backdrop of global tensions, particularly between Russia and Ukraine, as well as India's efforts to maintain relationships with competing powers while resisting efforts to turn the SCO into an anti-Western bloc.

The trip is also significant in light of recent developments in energy markets, which have been disrupted by the US-Israel war on Iran. Energy has become a crucial area of focus for India-Russia ties, and the two countries are working together to strengthen their energy partnership.

Modi's visit to Kyrgyzstan is part of a broader effort to strengthen regional relationships and counterbalance China's growing influence in the region. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit offers "crucial clues" to Beijing's ambitions for a more multipolar Eurasia, according to the South China Morning Post.
