Controversy Surrounds India's Hosting of G20 Meeting in Kashmir

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari accused India of "abusing" its presidency of the G20 by holding a tourism conference in the portion of disputed Kashmir it controls, violating international law, UN Security Council resolutions, and bilateral agreements. The Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir has been roiled for decades by an insurgency seeking independence or a merger with Pakistan. Non-G20 member Pakistan controls a smaller part and says holding the tourism meeting in the territory violates international law. China has stood by Pakistan in condemning the meeting to promote tourism in the area.
