NEW DELHI: Amid the political turmoil in neighboring Pakistan, India, under its G20 presidency, is all set to hold a working group meeting of the international forum in Kashmir.
The third G20 tourism working group meeting will be held from May 22 to 24 at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre in Srinagar, India Today reported.
The report said that the meeting will attract a lot of eyeballs as Kashmir, which has been under the shadow of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism for decades, will be hosting delegates from so many countries for the first time in its history.
According to India Today, officials are hopeful that the meeting will have a positive impact on tourism and trade in the region and send out a strong message to countries that look at Jammu and Kashmir as a ‘troubled’ spot.
The report further said that the Prime Minister’s Office has been “closely monitoring the security situation in Kashmir” since the August 2019 abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution, which stripped J&K of its special status.
