Narendra Modi postpones Rishi Sunak meeting ahead of G20 summit
The TelegraphRishi Sunak opted for a date night in Delhi with his wife on Friday after Narendra Modi pulled out of a planned meeting with the Prime Minister and business leaders were unable to attend a meeting to mark his visit. The Prime Minister had been due to hold talks with Mr Modi in the Indian premier’s official residence late on Friday afternoon, ahead of the start of the formal G20 summit on Saturday. On Friday, the British High Commission also cancelled a gathering of Indian business leaders who had been due to meet Mr Sunak as it emerged that the guests would struggle to reach the event due to a lockdown in Delhi as part of security measures for the summit. Instead, Mr Sunak was due to have a “quick” meeting with Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, followed by a private dinner with his wife Akshata Murty.
