The Ministry of External Affairs has said in its September 12 letter that it has examined the proposal and declined political clearance as the "visit from Government of NCT of Delhi would not be appropriate as India is being represented at the Columbia-India Energy Dialogue by Shri Suman Kumar Bery, Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog (Ministerial-rank)".
