Speaking on the occasion, Rijiju complimented the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh for establishing an institution of contemporary importance.

He underlined the importance of arbitration in commercial transactions, especially international ones, in view of the growing economy of the country and said arbitration is a very important tool for improvement in ease of doing business.
