Iranian Parliament Speaker and top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf will not be visiting India for the two-day BRICS Parliamentary Forum beginning October 26, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New Delhi said on Saturday, days after Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla confirmed his attendance.
The embassy cited “unforeseen circumstances” for Ghalibaf's inability to attend the meeting of speakers of parliaments from BRICS member countries.
