Putin’s smile and viral video
In the video, Putin was heard peacefully, calling him Prime Minister and pointing with hand, explaining how to wear headphones. During this time, the light laugh of Russian President was also captured in the camera. However, after a while Sharif himself wore a headphone. This is not the first time Shahbaz Sharif has been seen struggling with the problem of headphones on the international stage. 3 years ago, he had a problem due to repeated slipping headphones at the SCO summit in Uzbekistan in 2022. At that time, Putin smiled looking at him. Despite the help of the colleague, Shahbaz Sharif’s headphone was falling repeatedly at that time.

Pakistan’s delegation in Moscow: On Tuesday, a high -level delegation of Pakistan reached Moscow, the capital of Russia, amidst the ongoing tension with India.
