Srinagar a strange blend of traditional heritage, modern infrastructure: MoS

The significance of holding a G20 meeting in Srinagar is that the city is a strange blend of traditional heritage and modern infrastructure with cutting-edge technology, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said here on Tuesday.

Addressing the inaugural session of the third tourism working group meeting of the G20 countries at the SKICC here, Singh, the minister of state in the prime minister’s office, said India is ready to share the global responsibility as far as its obligations towards the economy, environment, and society are concerned.

“Today, when we meet in the scenic spot of Srinagar, we have this deep realisation within us that we are all a part of the global world, and India, under the prime ministership of Narendra Modi, is very cautious of that,” the MoS said. Singh said India’s challenges, concerns, and benchmarks were global, and its growth also has to be global. “That is why Modi is concerned about climate challenges. We have also committed to achieving a net zero target by 2070,” he added. The minister said the significance of holding the G20 event in Srinagar is that it’s a strange blend of our traditional heritage and the most modern infrastructure with cutting-edge technology.
