President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan and Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of Kazakhstan are expected to visit Pakistan in February 2026, with Pakistani sources confirming that preparations are already underway to receive both leaders. The upcoming visits are being viewed as a significant diplomatic development, as Pakistan enjoys cordial relations with both Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and has long sought to deepen its engagement with Central Asia. The visits will provide an opportunity to strengthen cooperation in areas such as trade, energy, connectivity, and cultural exchange.
