NSTnation The row dragged benchmark Malaysian palm futures to its biggest weekly decline in more than 11 years on Friday.
Hindu-majority India has repeatedly objected to Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad speaking out against a new citizenship law which critics say discriminate against Muslims.
But the Indian trade ministry official, who said he was speaking on behalf of the ministry, said no meeting was planned between India’s Piyush Goyal and Malaysia’s Darell Leiking. India last week imposed curbs on refined palm oil, which a source in New Delhi with direct knowledge of the matter said could be used to deny or delay imports from Malaysia. India has been Malaysia’s top palm market for five years.
Spokespeople for the trade ministries of India and Malaysia did not immediately respond to queries from Reuters.
