These foreign heads of the mission were accompanied by former diplomat and Minister of Civil Aviation Hardeep Singh Puri.

From Amritsar, they will visit the Sri Harminder Sahib. And after spending the entire afternoon there, these foreign heads of the mission will return to Amritsar and board flight for Delhi.

Pakistan's name has not been included in the list of 90 foreign delegates visiting Sri Harminder Sahib. Both India and Pakistan will be celebrating 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev in a big way.
