On Tuesday, february 11, during the Artificial Intelligence Summit in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron made a startling gesture by refusing to shake hands with prime minister Narendra Modi. A video of Emmanuel Macron ignoring prime minister narendra modi, who was waiting with his hand outstretched for a handshake with the French president, has gone viral on social media.
According to the footage, US Vice President JD Vance greets Emmanuel Macron as he walks into the hallway. He is seen extending a cordial greeting and shaking hands with the US Vice President. Seated next to JD Vance,
prime minister narendra modi extends his hand to shake hands with the French president. Emmanuel Macron, meanwhile, begins
chatting and embracing others seated in the row behind PM
narendra modi while ignoring his hand.
However, PM
narendra modi took charge of the situation and gestured to Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the
european Commission. Then, Leyen and PM Modi shook hands. PM Modi was entirely disregarded by Emmanuel Macron, who proceeded to engage with other guests who were there.
During the meeting, Macron had cordial relations with other leaders. He was observed without difficulty meeting other attendees and kissing Ursula von der Leyen on the cheek, the president of the
european Commission.
