India has clarified its position on sporting ties with Pakistan, stating that Pakistani players and teams will be allowed to participate in multilateral events hosted in India, but bilateral competitions between the two countries will remain off the table. According to India’s sports ministry, the visa process for sportspersons and officials will also be simplified, while office bearers of international sports governing bodies will be granted multi-entry visas.
The ministry said its approach to international and multilateral events, whether held in India or abroad, will be guided by the practices of international sports bodies and the interests of Indian sportspersons. It also highlighted India’s growing status as a credible host for international sporting events. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
