G20 Summit in Kashmir Marred by Saudi and Chinese Withdrawals and Security Concerns.

Saudi Arabia, China, and Turkey have boycotted the G20 meeting held in Indian-controlled Kashmir, which was intended to showcase the region's developments since Delhi revoked Kashmir's semi-autonomous status. The move is seen as a failed diplomatic attempt to normalise India's hold of the disputed territory. Several international activists and scholars have described the move to host a meeting focused on tourism and climate sustainability in a region occupied by hundreds of thousands of troops as hypocritical.
