In South Africa, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi refused to get off the plane after not being welcomed by a senior government official.
According to a South African media report, on Tuesday Narendra Modi arrived to attend the BRICS meeting, a minister was sent to Waterkloof Air Base to welcome him.
The Indian Prime Minister refused to get off the plane knowing his disappointment as Chinese President Xi Jinping was welcomed at the airport by his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday night.
After Narendra Modi’s reservations, South African Vice President Paul Mashatile left the ceremony held in honor of the Chinese President and went to Waterkloof Airbase and welcomed the Indian Prime Minister.
India’s foreign ministry did not respond to the South African media report.
On the other hand, the spokesperson of South Africa’s Department of International Relations rejected the media report.
He said that the Indian government knows that if the president is not available, then only our ministers welcome foreign leaders.
