The six-member Pakistani delegation that travelled to Hyderabad to attend the eighth edition of the Global Entrepreneurship Summit-2017 had some anxious moments when there was some uncertainty about securing Indian visas, given the strict norms governing the procedure reported The Hindu. Then, the US State Department and US Embassy in Pakistan stepped in and worked closely with the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. “The people in the Indian High Commission were phenomenally nice to us,” said Meenah Tariq, Head of Strategy and Accelerator, Invest 2 Innovate, Pakistan, who got the visa within a day. It allowed the team to deposit their documents in designated drop boxes and the visas were given within two days, Bashir said. Even on Thursday, the last day of the event, the team members said he had gone to report to the police,” she said.
