Wanted the delegation of manageable size: MEA on EU diplomats skipping ‘guided tour’ to J&K

Jan 09, 2020

New Delhi, Jan 09 (ANI): MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, on reports that EU diplomats refused to be a part of foreign delegation visiting J&K because they thought it was a guided tour, said, “We wanted this group to be of manageable size and make it broad based representing different geographical regions. When we approached them, they welcomed the decision. Our understanding is that they wanted to visit in a group. You're aware, on many issues, they take group position. Invitation wasn't sent to all members because it would have made the delegation too big.” A 15-member delegation of envoys from different countries is on a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir on January 09.
