India says Canadian senate speaker to skip G20 event in New Delhi

Responding to a question about the Canadian Senate speaker being absent for a two-day G20 event in New Delhi this week, Indian foreign ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that “We invite all members for G20 events. Participation is their decision and subject to a number of factors, I think you should ask them,” Bagchi said. “I’ll have to check whether anybody is actually attending from Canada because I think the parliament speaker could not attend.”
