India announces diplomatic boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics over Galwan row
Calling Beijing’s move to pick a Chinese soldier involved in the Galwan incident as an Olympic torchbearer “regrettable”, India said that its envoy will not attend the opening or closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics to be held in Beijing from 4th Feb – 20th Feb 2022.
