SRINAGAR, Jammu and Kashmir -- Visitors driving into Srinagar from Kashmir's Sheikh-ul Alam International Airport are now greeted by rows of lamp posts illuminated in the green, white and orange of the Indian national flag and billboards featuring India's Group of 20 lotus logo.

For the first time since India revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in 2019, the territory is due to host a significant international event later this month -- a G-20 tourism meeting on May 22-24. Dignitaries from around the world are expected to attend.
