After a 40-minute wait, Pakistani PM forces entry into Putin’s meeting; Russian president responds with a wink

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu) - Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif was greatly insulted during the International Forum for Peace and Trust program in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.

In fact, leaders from several countries, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Turkish President Erdogan, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, participated in this meeting. During this meeting, Russian President Vladimir Putin made Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif wait for 40 minutes. It has also been reported that after waiting, Shahbaz Sharif, uninvited, entered the room where Putin was meeting with Turkish President Erdogan. When Putin emerged some time later, he gestured to a journalist. All these events were captured on video, which the Russian website Russia Today (RT News) shared on social media.

Video from Turkmenistan clearly shows two chairs set up for the meeting between Shahbaz Sharif and Vladimir Putin. However, Shahbaz Sharif was seen sitting on the chair, but Putin was absent.

Putin winked at the journalist when asked.

Shahbaz was accompanied by Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and other officials. Shahbaz appeared tired and dejected during the wait.
