Brunei's envoy to India wins Ambassador's Cup Kashmir

By Rosli Abidin Yahya The High Commissioner of Brunei Darussalam to India Awg Hj Ghafar bin Hj Ismail emerged as the winner in the individual category of the first Ambassador's Cup Kashmir 2003 held at the picturesque Royal Springs golf course in Srinagar on May 19. The field included 10 envoys from different countries and CEOs from the top corporate houses of the country.

The tournament, the first of its kind, was arranged via the efforts of the Jammu and Kashmir government.

It was organised to help promote the tourism industry of the state, which has been badly hit over the past few years because of terrorism and tension surrounding the India-Pakistan border.

The team comprising Biritos (the Ambassador of Argentina) and Ambassador of Spain Don Rafael Conde lifted the gold cup for the best team.

The duo of Madhu Misra and Ulf Nordqvist bagged the team honours in the non-diplomatic category, involving corporate honchos, with Najamus Saqib and Lennart Johansson finishing second.
