Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Tashkent Agreement, also known as the Tashkent Declaration, was a peace treaty signed on January 10, 1966, between India and Pakistan [2]. The agreement was reached following the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 to restore normal and peaceful relations between the two nations [1]. The meeting was held in Tashkent, then part of the Soviet Union, and was mediated by Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin [4]. The primary signatories were Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Pakistani President Muhammad Ayub Khan [4]. The declaration required both sides to withdraw their armed forces to positions held prior to August 5, 1965, and reaffirmed their obligation under the UN Charter to settle disputes through peaceful means [2]. While the Soviet Union acted as the broker, the agreement itself was bilaterally between India and Pakistan [3].
