Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday interacted with indologists and scholars in Tashkent, during his official visit of Uzbekistan.
PM Modi released the first Uzbek-Hindi dictionary at the event along with Uzbekistan Prime Minister and Indologist Rakhmatov.
While speaking to the audience there, PM Modi stressed on the importance of language.
"I believe that for personality development, language plays a huge role. A common language binds strangers who meet in a foreign land. Language is a window to the immense amount of knowledge that it offers," he said.
He further added, "Water takes the form of whatever it is mixed with, language is like that too. It imbibes from ages, places, traditions. If we do a DNA test of a language, its heart will be found to be very big because it absorbs everyone and everything. Its inclusive."
"But two things have the same language all over the world, laughing and crying."
PM Modi ended his addresssal to the students by thanking them for a memorable trip to Tashkent.
"This trip has been very fruitful and full of good memories. I am sure our nations together will cultivate a great relationship," he said.
Ministry of External Affairs official spokesperson Vikas Swarup took to twitter to share the information.
“A leader among scholars and friends. PM @narendramodi meets with Indologists, students of Hindi and community members,” he posted.

He had also added that India was looking forward to expanding bilateral ties with Uzbekistan in matters related to economic cooperation, advancing stability and promoting regional integration.
