BEIJING: Veteran Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping’s son, Deng Pufang, who was to have visited India from March 17, has cancelled the trip due to illness, diplomatic sources said here Friday.
Deng left earlier this week for Pakistan and was to have visited India and Bangladesh as well in his capacity as head of the China handicapped persons federation, to make contact with social workers engaged in providing aid for the disabled in the sub-continent.
However, he cut short his visit in Pakistan, the sources said.
He may undertake the visit to India and Bangladesh later this year, they added.
Deng Pufang, who uses a wheelchair, is said to have become disabled during the Cultural Revolution (1966-76)
