NEW DELHI -- A group of foreign envoys are visiting Jammu and Kashmir, in India's north, in what opposition leaders are slamming as a two-day "guided tour" and what analysts are describing as an exercise in image management by the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The 15 New Delhi-based diplomats who started their visit on Thursday at the invitation of the Indian government include ambassadors from the U.S., South Korea, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Norway, the Philippines, Argentina and Nigeria.
