- 3 years ago
The entire Indian delegation in the UK for G7 talks must self-isolate after two Covid cases were detected.
India's foreign minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar pulled out of face-to-face talks, saying he was "aware of exposure to possible Covid positive cases".
India is not in the G7 group - the world's largest so-called advanced economies - but delegates from the country were invited as guests.
The talks are expected to discuss new ways to ensure fairer access to vaccine stockpiles and increase support for the global vaccine distribution scheme known as Covax.
