During an event held in Turkmenistan, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had to wait for a long time outside the meeting of the Presidents of Russia and Türkiye. Later, he reached the meeting without being invited, which is being considered as a big diplomatic insult to Pakistan. Putin appeared completely uncomfortable.
Pakistan’s diplomacy has been made a joke during an international program in Turkmenistan. Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif was scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Putin did not come to meet him, but made him wait for 40 minutes. Actually Putin was then meeting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. While waiting for Putin, Shahbaz finally couldn’t control himself and breaking the protocol, he entered the Putin-Erdogan meeting. During this time Putin and Erdogan were talking.
Where did Pakistan’s diplomatic insult happen?
This entire incident happened during a program organized on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s neutrality. In the video that went viral on social media, it was seen that Shehbaz Sharif was sitting in a separate room with his Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and was clearly looking restless. After the stipulated time passed and no invitation was received, Shahbaz Sharif suddenly reached the hall where the Presidents of Russia and Türkiye were discussing face to face.
