In a recent development, Uzbekistan has announced that it will allow Indian citizens to enter the country without a visa for stays of up to 30 days. This new policy, announced by Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev during his state visit to India, aims to strengthen cultural, trade and travel ties between the two nations.
