Obviously none of the people taking part in this mission with India are young. Nostrils assures us the EVERYONE of his age feels the same way as he does about wanting to have nothing to do with the outside world; especially those nasty Americans and Europeans. Maybe Asians are okay.

The headline could lead you to believe that this is actually an Argentine initiative but they are simply attending an event, along with the rest of the world, arranged by India. Still, if they can improve business by attending I wish them luck. The promising thing is that politicians don't seem to get a mention.
