Jammu, Apr 27: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Executive Member Raman Suri Thursday said that the three-day meet of Y20 delegates at Leh will send a strong message to neighbouring countries, strengthen India’s resolve, boost tourism and enable youngsters to hammer out solutions to various issues confronting the world.
Raman Suri said that India, after assuming the presidency of G20, had been working hard on holding various summits across the length and breadth of the country.
This international summit at Leh, being the first-of-its-kind in the northernmost part of the country, is going to leave an indelible mark on the hearts and souls of people who believe in India’s core value system of ‘Vasudeva Kutumbakam’ and are following the G20 theme of ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’, he added
He said, this Youth-20 meeting under the G20 summit at Leh will enable youth from world over to see our culture, traditions, untapped and unexplored nature, hospitality of the people of Ladakh and will send a strong message to the neighboring countries who had been casting their doubts on India’s resolve to develop the Union Territories of J&K as well as Ladakh.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, is committed to make Ladakh carbon neutral and the youth from world over will get to see the steps being initiated towards that and will also be able to put forth their suggestions, which will be healthy and participative in nature.
Suri added that holding such international events in Jammu, Kashmir or Ladakh parts of Northern India sends a strong message across the world that we are progressing post abrogation of Article 370 and these areas continue to be an integral part of the country.
He said China, by boycotting G20 meet in Arunachal Pradesh, might have tried to put a point forth but this meeting and participation of over 100 delegates from 30 countries is going to establish how India is concerned about world issues and is contributing in their resolution, especially when youngsters of Ladakh will also put forth or share their views with the visiting delegates.
He hoped that the visiting delegates would return with sweet memories of Ladakh, its lakes, pristine beauty of the cold desert and hospitality besides getting enriched with knowledge of India’s vast region, which despite hostile weather conditions, continues to contribute to nation building.
