Several interesting moments were recorded on the first day of the G20 summit in China, and the attention of journalists was attracted, among other things, by the problems of the new Prime Minister of Great Britain, Theresa May, with protocol and the joke of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the expense of the head of the Turkish intelligence service.
At the meeting with the Russian president, the new Prime Minister of Great Britain, Theresa May, violated the protocol twice, Sputnik reported.
May, who is called "Iron Lady 2" in the backroom, first did not extend her hand to Vladimir Putin, and then immediately sat down, which is not according to diplomatic rules.
However, Putin still invited her to shake hands and take pictures together.
He was the first to speak at the meeting. He said that there was not always a mutual understanding between Great Britain and Russia on some issues and that the two countries were facing complex issues.
The last sentence was not immediately translated by the translator and Putin had to repeat it several times.
Yesterday, before the meeting with the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Russian President made a joke about the head of the Turkish intelligence service.
"If the head of the (Turkish) intelligence service is here, then we have nothing to discuss. He must have already conveyed everything to you," Putin joked, Sputnik reported.
