About 60 foreign delegates arrived in Srinagar on Monday, May 22, 2023, for the third tourism working group meeting of the G20 countries.

This is the first international meeting being held in Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the erstwhile state into two Union Territories -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh -- in August 2019.

Officials said the delegates from several countries of the G20 grouping arrived on a chartered flight at the Srinagar international airport amidst tight security.
