Peace and security in Central Asia and Afghanistan seems to be the most crucial factor in realizing India’s thrust for energy security in Central Asia. The evolution and development of India-central Asia relationship stands on the pillar of strong reciprocal historical, cultural and civilizational bond and affiliations. The importance of central Asia to India and vice versa took new shape after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

India has vital interests in Central Asia which can be achieved through a secure and stable central Asia. The mounting security concern in Central Asia as exhibited by the forces of religious extremism, international terrorism and drug-trafficking had has serious consequence in destabilizing peace and stability in both India and Central Asia.
