Another Diplomatic Gaffe By Imran: Disrespecting the Saudi Monarch?

[Irfan Baloch]

The prime minister of Pakistan is facing a social media furore for allegedly disrespecting the king of Saudi Arabia when the two leaders met for the Arab nation’s OIC summit in Mecca.
Imran Khan was filmed walking the elaborate red carpet to meet King Salman, following a brief handshake and greeting. However, it appeared from the footage that the Pakistani PM spoke directly to the monarch’s translator rather than addressing the royal himself.

This idiot was stood right in the corner of the frame when the combined picture was taken in China. Now he goes and walks like he is the master in front of the king whose country is suppose to invest 10 billion dollars and give us a oil on deferred payment.

Much ado about nothing, I dont why ppl make a lot of fuss on how ppl walk,bend or cry about protocols. People in such high position are not finicky about such small things, there are lot more problems to worry about. Its only little ppl who have nothing to talk about make issue out of it. In fact if we start deeply inspecting everything we will find fault every where.

What did he do?

I dont see anything wrong... He shook hands exchanged pleasantries then said his goodbye and left... Probably his handler was telling him to come to the side...

What did he do wrong??

exactly

the problem is that he forgot the protocol
he was supposed to stay there and wait for the king's response or nod. he finished his talk and without saying bye or waiting for a response just turned around and walked off

Mistakes happen I don't know why people are making a big deal.

because such mistakes show poor judgement on the leader representing Pakistan
and specially his team is responsible for not briefing about diplomatic norms and protocol
