French President Macron Snubs Indian Prime Minister Modi at AI Summit
French President Emmanuel Macron has sparked controversy after refusing to shake hands with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at an Artificial Intelligence summit held in Paris. A viral video shows Macron greeting several world leaders, including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, while deliberately ignoring Modi’s attempt to greet him.
In the footage, Macron is seen enthusiastically shaking hands with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, but when he approaches Modi, he bypasses him without a handshake. The incident has gone viral on social media, with many questioning the diplomatic implications of this apparent snub.
The incident has sparked widespread debate, with some suggesting it reflects growing tensions in international relations and others viewing it as a diplomatic statement. This development comes amid global discussions on AI and the future of technology, where leaders are expected to put political differences aside for the sake of collaboration.
The video has quickly gained attention, and Prime Minister Modi’s supporters are left questioning the significance of this gesture on the global stage.
