The MEA spokesperson also said the summit will be rescheduled to a mutually convenient date which is yet to be decided. The India-EU summit was expected to take place at the EU office in Brussels on March 13 of this year. On Wednesday, ten new cases of coronavirus were reported from Brussels taking the total number of cases in Belgium to 23.
The decision has been taken in the spirit of close cooperation between the EU and India, who share same concerns and commitment to global health and hope that the outbreak is contained soon, said official MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar.
