While presiding over the inaugural session of the conference Vice Chancellor University of Kashmir Prof Talat Ahmad in his address highlighted the significance of the Silk Route and possibility of exploring it further for the benefit of people in Kashmir and Central Asia.

He said “I hope that the scholars, delegates and faculty members who have come from across the country and outside will bring many new ideas to fore that would provide an opportunity for a free movement of thought again for the benefit of people of Kashmir and Central Asia.”

Vice Chancellor Islamic University of Science and Technology Prof. Mushtaq A. Siddiqi who was guest of honour on the occasion said “Kashmir falls in the ambit of the silk-route and hence it has a bearing of many cultures and also transported many elements of its culture to outside through the route in the past.”

 He added “The route not only helped in the commercial purposes but was also responsible for the cross-cultural integration.”

Dean School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi Prof Ajay Patnaik delivered his keynote address on the subject.
