The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting is currently underway in China, attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Videos related to the meeting have flooded social media.
The world’s eyes are on this gathering as it brings together three of the most powerful leaders globally, all amid Trump’s tariff row. Among the various clips, one particular video is now going viral on social media.
In the video, during the SCO summit, Modi and Putin can be seen talking to each other as they walk past Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who is standing to the side. It is clearly visible in the footage that Shahbaz Sharif is nearby, but Modi and Putin give him what appears to be a royal ignore.
