“Nothing was given to us in writing”
G20 India Special Secretary Muktesh Pardeshi said on Friday that India is awaiting a written confirmation from China regarding President Xi Jinping’s participation in the G20 Leaders’ Summit. Responding to a question about Xi Jinping not attending the conference and sending Prime Minister Li Qiang in his place, Pardeshi said that we have seen some news published in newspapers. But, we rely on written confirmation and we have not received anything in writing yet. We are not in a position to comment until we get something in writing.
Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang is likely to visit India after attending the East Asia Summit in Jakarta. Earlier, in 2021, Xi did not participate in the G20 summit held in Italy due to the restrictions imposed by China to prevent Covid-19. Pardeshi said the participation of world leaders in summits like the G20 is usually communicated through a diplomatic note.
