"I met people from sports, those interested in economic growth and those who want to bring investors here. I see a lot of hope now," Akello added.

Ambassador of Denmark who was also part of the delegation said, "It's important to visit Kashmir," as he stressed on direct dialogue with locals.&nbsp;
