[SINGAPORE] Amid a diplomatic row between the two countries, Singapore has reportedly rescinded its invitation to an Indonesian delegation that was supposed to attend this week's Singapore Airshow.

Singapore's Ministry of Defence did not confirm the rescindment yesterday, but said it has been informed that Indonesia's deputy defence minister, commander of the Indonesian Armed Forces, chief of staff of the Indonesian Army, and chief of staff of the Indonesian Air Force are not attending.

Indonesian media reported that Singapore cancelled the invitation. However, Indonesia's Jupiter Aerobatic team, due to perform at the air show, said on its Twitter and Facebook pages that they are still attending.
