NEW DELHI: External affairs minister S Jaishankar has said that Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin skipping this week's G20 summit in New Delhi is not unusual and has nothing to do with India
Jaishankar, in an exclusive interview with ANI ahead of the G20 Summit in Delhi on September 9 and 10, emphasized that the absence of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping should not overshadow the event. He pointed out that in the history of the G20, there have been instances where presidents or prime ministers chose not to attend global meetings, and the representative present on their behalf reflects their country's position.
