Amid the protocol-related controversy on social media, the German Ambassador to India, Philipp Ackermann, yesterday said the German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock's plane landed early in Delhi.
She was asked to stay on the plane for a while but decided to leave without receiving a line, which was entirely a German problem, Mr Ackermann told ANI, adding that the Indian protocol was outstanding.
Further, on the row over social media posts alleging some protocol issue with the German Foreign minister, Mr Ackermann, who is also the Germany envoy to Bhutan, clarified that the minister's plane landed a little early in Delhi, adding that she was, in fact, one of the first ministers to land in the national capital on Thursday for the G20 Foreign ministers' meeting.
