Ireland will not send an entry or broadcast the event in Bulgaria.

Poland and Poles cannot afford naivety or wishful thinking.

We must operate on facts, and they are clear.

India's MEA issued an official "Fake Alert", calling the posts "malicious."

The rumors originated from a Chinese exile opposition figure and spread after Xi skipped a gala dinner and a video showed Modi pausing during remarks (later explained as Xi signaling about a lost earpiece translation feed, not a medical issue).

Xi attended both days, met Modi bilaterally, departed on schedule, and returned to Beijing.

South Africa's Ramaphosa separately confirmed resting on medical advice after returning, but didn't link it to the summit.
