Rabat: In a major goof-up, the University of Morocco hosting Vice President Hamid Ansari for a lecture displayed an incorrect map of India which showed Pakistan and Afghanistan as part of its territory.
The error in the map however was spotted by one of the members of the Indian delegation before Mr Ansari had arrived and was immediately removed. Mr Ansari's lecture was titled 'Accommodating Diversity in a Globalising World: The Indian Experience'
The mistake was attributed to an error by the students who were managing the display system.
Mr Ansari's visit to Morocco is the first high-level visit to the African country after Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee went there in 1999. He will now head to Tunisia for a two-day visit at the invitation of Prime Minister Habib Essid.
