As the G7 Foreign and Development Minister's Meeting kicks off in London on Wednesday, the Indian representative will only attend virtually after being exposed to "possible Covid positive cases."
India's External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar said he was made aware of the possible exposure on Tuesday evening.
"As a measure of abundant caution and also out of consideration for others, I decided to conduct my engagements in the virtual mode. That will be the case with the G7 Meeting today as well," Jaishankar said in a tweet Wednesday.
