London — A meeting of top G7 diplomats being held in person in London risked being derailed after India’s foreign minister said he would self-isolate over possible exposure to the coronavirus.India is not a member of the G7, though it was invited as a guest by Britain to mark the focus on Asia and the Indo-Pacific, which was also the theme of the dinner to which foreign minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar would have been invited.

The British delegation for now insists that all precautions had been deployed after Sky News reported that there were two Covid-19 cases among the Indian delegation, which did not take part in the G7 sessions during the day. The UK seems to be pushing on through. A smiling foreign secretary Dominic Raab was filmed welcoming fellow ministers to Lancaster House with fist bumps.
