However, Jakarta stood its ground and went ahead to invite Russia for the Summit, notwithstanding pressure from the West. Meanwhile, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar will visit Cambodia from November 11-13 to attend the 19th ASEAN-India Commemorative Summit on Saturday and the 17th East Asia Summit.

He will also visit Siem Reap to review the preservation and restoration work being undertaken by India at Cambodian heritage sites.Dhankhar will also have a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister of Cambodia and other leaders including Vietnamese PM.
