SRINAGAR, Apr 22: Holding the G20 summit in Jammu and Kashmir would be an adventurous and ambitious step as well as an opportunity to recognize J-K at the highest level, according to a report in JK Policy Institute.The Srinagar-based independent, think-tank said that despite resistance from Pakistan and China, India announced Srinagar as the venue for the G20 Tourism Working Group meeting scheduled to take place from May 22 to 24.It’s for the first time in the past 70 years that J-K would be hosting an international event like G-20, and the occasion offers Jammu and Kashmir a chance to rise to the occasion of exhibiting its market prospects, ecotourism ventures, and cultural assets to the leading global nations, the report stated.The G-20 symposium or associated discussion groups in Srinagar would represent the most formal geopolitical devastating blow for Pakistan, which has calcified its stance on J-K following the repeal of Articles 370 and 35-A and the division of the former state into two separate Union Territories in 2019.
