The Ministry of External Affairs on Wednesday said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was advised not to attend the C40 World Mayors' Summit in Denmark as his visit there as a speaker at a panel discussion does not commensurate with the level of participation from other countries.
Kejriwal was to leave on Tuesday for the C-40 Climate Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, but could not do so.
The Ministry of External Affairs examined the request and "clearance from political angle" has been declined, Delhi government sources said.
In response to media queries regarding political clearance for Kejriwal, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, "A considered decision on political clearance by the Ministry of External Affairs is based on multiple inputs and takes into account the nature of the event, the level of participation by other countries, type of invitation extended, etc."
