Recently, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed a tour of the Central Asian Republics (CARs)—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. His visits will catalyze a more prominent presence for India in the region.
Central Asia is strategically located between Europe and Asia, and it offers enormous economic opportunities for investment. It is a region rich in mineral resources—Kazakhstan is the world’s largest producer of uranium, while Turkmenistan has the fifth largest natural gas reserves in the world.
