The 5 countries are basically central Asian states. The reason India is having meetings with them is that they are India's new boogeyman specifically the turkics India is somehow terrified of them. Besides these countries are firmly friends of Pakistan.. So for us it is whatever get together and drink cafe all you want we approve

Almost all of these countries are communist dictatorships. They suppress Muslims and anything Islamic and hence natural friends of India .

Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgestan these are 4 Turkic countries and India has some sort of nightmare about them.. Because these countries are getting close to Pakistan so India wants to balance the scale by also forming relations with them and trade. So that they don't view India as security threat or Pakistan lobbying them into thinking that about India in the future.. India is being smart here which is something rare

Amusing that Pakistanis don't even know the names of it's five Central Asian neighbours, which incidentally are also part of the OIC. Anyway, the Central Asian republics chose to send their FMs to India and some low level clerk to the "55-member OIC" speaks a lot of it's importance!

Turkey and China hope to have greater influence in the central Asian countries, and that will increasingly take the CARs out of the traditional Russian orientation, especially once the generation of soviet era leaders are replaced with people that came of age in a post soviet Central Asia. I think India is just keeping its foot wedged in the door, so that if the tide turns it can swoop in and do what it can for its own interests. But the change in government in Kabul and the Russian loss of an appetite to oppose them for the time being won’t really help India’s options, except maybe economically. These countries can’t really afford to turn down any economic offers, the way the global economy is going and the relative geographical isolation of these countries.

Tajikistan is the only country amongst the Central Asia republics to be steadfastly with India, for its own ethno-political reasons. Pakistan must focus on a way to change that, and one way is a road from Chitral to Tajikistan, to better economically integrate Tajikistan with Pakistan then with India.

Basically this but currently Tajikistan has become more China aligned yet again for their own reasons because they are hell'va scared of Afghanistan.. Despite appearing as if they are closer to India but they are closer to China nowadays. As for the Turkics not all of them are CSTO example Uzbekistan is not and Turkmenistan is neutral. They are also part of Turkic council and other forms

If we had a a "nightmare" about them , we would not be all meeting in New Delhi. We would not be talking and implementing closer economic and military cooperation . If these countries were are getting "close" to Pakistan then they would not be in India while the OIC public relations gathering is taking place.

If they aren't getting closer then trade between them wouldn't have increased dramatically nor would Uzbekistan and Pakistan been working on connectivity projects or Turkmenistan signing gas pipeline deals with Afghanistan and Pakistan. Relationship wise they are getting closer and this is something India knows but they don't care but just wants to balance the scale.. It is all fair at the end of the day

military cooperation

Will they be sending investigators for the Mi17 crash?

 

[Shah_Deu]

Funny is, how on one hand India claims strong historic ties with Central Asia and on the other hand keeps weeping about the the emperors from Timur to Babur to Aurangzeb who all originated from Timurid and Mughal empires and were characteristically central Asian! And most epic is that the abuse comes from the likes of the PM and people in power themselves!

So basically, are these strong historic ties all about the kings and their slaves? or the rulers and their servants? Indeed very strong historical and people to people ties. What a shameless and mockery of a country this is!

How does it affect us? We did a meet for our own interests not to “counter” Pakistan’s OIC meet. It doesn’t affect us anyway.
