Question

Tashkent agreement was signed between which countries?

Answer 1

India and Pakistan
The Tashkent Agreement was signed between India and Pakistan. It was a peace agreement signed on January 10, 1966, in Tashkent (now in Uzbekistan) under the mediation of the Soviet Union. The agreement was signed by Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Pakistani President Ayub Khan. The Tashkent Agreement aimed to bring an end to the armed conflict between India and Pakistan that occurred during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. The agreement called for a ceasefire, withdrawal of forces to pre-war positions, and the release of prisoners of war. It also emphasized the need for peaceful relations and the resolution of disputes through negotiations. Unfortunately, soon after signing the agreement, Lal Bahadur Shastri passed away, leading to a period of uncertainty in India-Pakistan relations.
