By inviting the Bimstec countries for the ceremony, India has given a subtle message. First, the country has snubbed Pakistan, a country whose leader had attended the previous oath ceremony in 2014. This is a strong message that relations between the country is not normal because of the Islamic nation’s continued support to terrorism.
