“Who signed the Tashkent Agreement in 1966 for India?”

"The Tashkent Agreement signed in 1966 ended the Indo-Pakistan War of 1965. Lal Bahadur Shastri India’s Prime Minister represented India while Pakistan’s President Ayub Khan signed for Pakistan. Brokered by the Soviet Union the agreement restored pre-war boundaries and aimed to foster peace. Shastri’s role highlighted India’s commitment to diplomatic resolutions though his sudden death shortly after signing added historical significance. The agreement remains a key moment in South Asian diplomacy underscoring the importance of dialogue in resolving conflicts between India and Pakistan."
