The Government on Thursday said it is yet to decide on the level of India's participation at the SAARC finance ministers meeting later this month in Islamabad, amid indications that Arun Jaitley may skip the conference due to strain in ties between the two countries.
"No decision has been taken so far on India's level of participation at SAARC finance ministers meet in Islamabad," ministry of external affairs spokesperson Vikas Swaroop told reporters here at his weekly media briefing.The conference is scheduled on August 25-26 in Islamabad.
Earlier this week, official sources had said that Jaitley may not visit Pakistan due to "political reasons"."You all know what happened last time and what is happening," a source had said, referring to Home Minister Rajnath Singh's visit to Islamabad earlier this month.
