New Delhi : External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna has cancelled his trip to Poland to attend the funeral of president Lech Kaczynski because of poor flying conditions in Europe, officials said Friday.
Krishna was to leave New Delhi Saturday and represent India at Sunday’s funeral. But the visit was called off because of major disruptions to air traffic on account volcanic ash clouding the skies over Europe.
India’s ambassador in Warsaw will represent New Delhi at the funeral.
But reports from Warsaw say the funeral itself might get postponed. Kaczynski and scores of Polish military and political leaders were killed in an air crash in Russia April 10.
