The Envoys of USA, China along with other G20 Nations were present in the lunch hosted by the Congress Chief.
It is noteworthy that PM Narendra Modi had in 2014 ahead of General Elections held similar kind of discussion and hosted a lunch for envoys of G20 Nations.
The Congress Lunch Programme for Envoys was originally slated for February 15 last month but was postponed in the wake of deadliest Pulwama Terror Attack of February 14 that claimed the lives of 40 CRPF Jawans in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammed took the responsibility of the deadliest attack.
