Xinhua, July 2, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Indian Cabinet has approved a number of agreements that are likely to be inked during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to central Asian countries next week, sources said Thursday.

"The Cabinet of Ministers gave its approval to all the pacts to be signed between India and the central Asian countries, at a meeting held Wednesday," the sources said.

While India is likely to sign tourism pacts with Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, it will seal an emergency response system deal with Uzbekistan, they added.

Modi will visit Uzbekistan on July 6 for one day, followed by Kazakhstan from where he will head to Russia to attend the BRICS Summit. The final leg of his tour includes visits to Turkmenistan, Kyrgyztan and Tajikistan. Endi
