40-Minute Wait: Furious Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Gatecrashes Putin & Erdogan Meeting In Turkmenistan | VIRAL VIDEO | World News
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif created a diplomatic storm at an international forum in Turkmenistan after he stormed into the long-awaited closed-door meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his planned appointment.
What was supposed to be a routine meeting between the Prime Minister of Pakistan and President Putin did not go quite according to the script as his scheduled appointment was delayed by about 40 minutes. Abandoned in a hall and apparently resentful, Mr Sharif decided to forego protocol and engage in an unscripted high-level argument.

In a video clip published by RT India, the angry prime minister, flanked by security guards, is seen leaving the waiting area and walking directly to the room where President Putin and Erdogan were meeting behind closed doors.
The footage dramatically shows Mr Sharif crossing the threshold and heading towards the meeting, only to be promptly stopped by guards moments after entering.

In another video shared by RT India, the Pakistani delegation, including the Prime Minister, is seen sitting tall and tall in their chairs next to an empty chair marked with the Russian flag; Their impatience is clearly visible as they wait for President Putin to arrive.
I’m Excited to Come Out
The Sheriff was quick to slam the door. The footage shows the “calculated door slamming”, interpreted by observers as a desperate attempt to appear relevant after being held up, lasted for around ten minutes before the Pakistani Prime Minister abruptly left the room.
The incident occurred during Mr. Sharif’s visit to Turkmenistan, which is hosting an international forum to celebrate 30 years of permanent neutrality in the country.
Social Media Explodes in Mockery
The diplomatic blunder quickly became fodder for social media users who seized the opportunity to mock Mr Sharif for losing patience and breaking protocol rather than waiting his turn.
Comments ranged from humorous to harsh criticism:
“After 40 minutes of waiting, even the Zomato delivery boy gave up. The sheriff still hasn’t given up,” wrote one of the users. “I ignored him like a traffic signal ka bhikhari,” said another. “Beggars can’t be choosers,” wrote a third. But this did not prevent the major program celebrating Turkmenistan’s unique and UN-recognised policy of permanent neutrality from proceeding as planned, despite the highly visible diplomatic incident.
