The Tashkent Agreement, also known as the Tashkent Declaration, is a peace agreement signed between India and Pakistan on January 10, 1966, to resolve the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. The agreement was mediated by Soviet Premier Aleksey Kosygin, who had invited Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Pakistani President Mohammad Ayub Khan to Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The key points of the agreement include:

• Both sides would exert all efforts to create good neighborly relations between India and Pakistan in accordance with the United Nations Charter.
• Both sides would affirm their commitment in accordance with the charter not to resort to force and to resolve their disputes by peaceful means.
• India and Pakistan would both fall back to their previous positions held prior to August 5, 1965.
• Neither would interfere in the internal affairs of the others and would discourage toxic propaganda against each other.
• There would be an orderly transfer of prisoners of war, and the two leaders would work towards improving bilateral relations.
• The agreement was reached to restore trade and economic relations as before.

The treaty was heavily criticized in both countries, as Indians and Pakistanis were expecting more concessions to their respective sides than what had been agreed upon. In India, the agreement was criticized because it did not contain a no-war pact or any renunciation of guerrilla warfare across Kashmir. After the Tashkent Declaration was signed, Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri died under mysterious circumstances in Tashkent, which led to the rise of conspiracy theories claiming that he was poisoned.
