MEA Warns Against Misleading Social Media Claims on Summit Delegates

Officials issue clarification on health rumors involving visiting heads of state in New Delhi

by TheReportingTimes

New Delhi, Sept 17: The External Affairs Ministry issued a public alert dismissing online reports that suggested foreign leaders experienced health issues after participating in the BRICS Summit in the national capital.

Through an official communication from its fact-check wing, the ministry urged citizens to disregard malicious posts circulating across digital platforms regarding summit participants. The clarification coincided with statements from South Africa indicating that President Cyril Ramaphosa is resting on medical advice following his return from India. State representatives maintained that claims regarding Chinese President Xi Jinping leaving the event early due to illness remain entirely unverified. Authorities declared that the expanded 11-member summit concluded constructively with shared commitments toward multilateral diplomacy and economic cooperation.
