Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif faced an awkward diplomatic moment this week — one that quickly turned into global mockery — after he appeared to ‘gatecrash’ a private meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.    Sharif had arrived in Sochi expecting a bilateral meeting with President Putin, but instead ended up waiting nearly 40 minutes in a side room with Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, growing visibly restless. With no update from officials and mounting frustration, Sharif ultimately walked straight into a closed-door meeting already underway between Putin and Erdoğan — a moment captured on video and widely circulated online.    #ShehbazSharifPutinMeeting #PutinShehbazSharif #ShehbazSharifMeeting #PutinBilateralMeet #ShehbazPutinNews #ShehbazSharifSummit #ShehbazPutinErdogan #ShehbazSharifBilateral #ShehbazPutinLatest #PutinErdoganShehbaz #ShehbazSharifMeetingVideo #ShehbazSharifMeetsPutin #PutinMeetsShehbaz #ShehbazErdoganMeeting #PutinPakistan #ShehbazSharifUpdates  ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~

00:00Pakistan PM Sherbaz Sharif

00:27faced an awkward diplomatic moment, one that quickly turned into global mockery after

00:34he appeared to gatecrash a private meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin

00:40and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

00:43Sharif had arrived in Sochi expecting a bilateral meeting with President Putin, but instead

00:50ended up waiting nearly 40 minutes in a side room with Foreign Minister Ishak Dar, growing

00:57visibly restless.

00:59With no update from officials and mounting frustration, Sharif ultimately walked straight

01:05into a closed-door meeting, already underway, between Putin and Erdogan, a moment captured

01:12on video and widely circulated online.

01:16In the viral clip, Sharif can be seen entering the room, offering polite greetings to both

01:23leaders and slipping out within minutes.

01:26Many on social media described it as an international-level gatecrash, while others called it a desperate

01:33attempt to secure even a brief interaction after being sidelined.

01:39Another video showed Sharif sitting tensely beside an empty chair marked with a Russian flag, his

01:46impatience unmistakable, as he waited for a meeting that kept getting delayed.

01:52Online reactions were brutal.

01:55Users joked, after 40 minutes of wait, even as a motto delivery guy gives up, Sharif still

02:02didn't, while another wrote, ignored him like a traffic signal car bikari.

02:08Memes poured in, with comments like,

02:11Beggars can't be choosers, from please meet me, to please leave, in ten minutes, and Pakistan's

02:19foreign policy just got a new definition.

02:23While some diplomatic observers argue Sharif's move was a calculated attempt to assert Pakistan's

02:30presence, the public perception has been unkind, painting the incident as a symbolic snub and

02:37a humiliating moment on the world stage.

02:40Meanwhile, Erdogan and Putin continued their talks uninterrupted, discussing Ukraine conflict

02:47ceasefire proposals, energy infrastructure protection, and the EU's decision to freeze

02:54Russian assets.

02:55Sharif's unexpected walk-in may have lasted barely ten minutes, but the internet has ensured

03:02the embarrassment will last much longer.
