He highlighted that the ICC members’ meeting in Srinagar will serve as a valuable platform for networking and collaboration among local businesses.
“India is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. For us, relationships are not transactional—they are rooted in compassion and brotherhood. Our unique cultural heritage and traditional values have strengthened our economy and established India as a great and powerful nation.
