Putin-Shehbaz Sharif Meeting : It seems that international humiliation has become the new normal for Pakistan. Shahbaz Sharif has once again faced this humiliation. Today, Putin openly exposed Shahbaz's true status.
Shehbaz Sharif waited for Putin for 40 minutes: The sorrow for Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif, who has become hungry and poor due to his enmity with India, is double. Firstly, the poverty of the country does not let him sleep. Secondly, the growing presence of India in the world always keeps his blood pressure high. Now, after Putin's successful visit to India, this jealousy of Pakistan has increased further. Hence, Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif took the opportunity and tried to boast about friendship by catching Putin in his own style. But Putin, without saying anything, made him wait for 40 minutes and told him the real status of Pakistan in the world.
According to a report in Russian Today India, this incident occurred in Turkmenistan on December 12, 2025, when several world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Erdoğan, attended a forum in the country's capital, Ashgabat, to mark the International Year of Peace and Trust.
Seeing the gathering of heads of state from so many countries, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif also arrived there with the intention of collecting donations. As per his plan, the Pakistani delegation requested a bilateral meeting between Shahbaz and Putin from the Russian government, which was accepted. Subsequently, the Pakistani Prime Minister arrived with his delegation at the appointed time to meet with Putin.
Putin did not arrive even after waiting for 40 minutes
But neither Putin nor his delegation was present. His face fell at the sight. Shahbaz then sat on a chair and waited for Putin to arrive. Forty minutes passed, but Putin did not arrive. Putin, ignoring Shahbaz, was in conversation with Turkish President Erdogan.
Meanwhile, Shahbaz, who was waiting for Putin in the room with his representatives, was growing weary and irritated. Upon learning that Putin was about to pass through the hall outside, he rushed over, shook hands with Putin, and stood and chatted for 10 minutes.
Insult to Pakistan goes viral on the internet
During the meeting, he held Putin's hand while shaking his other hand, portraying himself as a close friend of Putin. This was an informal discussion between the two, which has been confirmed by the Kremlin and other sources.
As soon as the video of Pakistan's international humiliation surfaced, it immediately went viral on social media. It also sparked a flood of memes. Some said, "Sharif Bhai, you should have been rewarded for waiting!" Another called Putin a "time management guru."
Will Shahbaz Sharif understand this message?
Meanwhile, Pakistanis are furious at their country's humiliation in the world. They are sharing a video of the Putin-Sharif meeting, claiming it to be a major event, while concealing the incident of Shahbaz Sharif's wait. Pakistani media is calling Shahbaz Sharif's 40-minute wait a diplomatic blunder, while Russian media is ridiculing Shahbaz and Pakistan.
Geopolitical experts say this meeting carries a powerful message, one that Pakistan will never want to understand. That message is that leaders of countries like Pakistan, facing economic crisis, yearn to meet global leaders. Pakistan's plight on the international stage has now become apparent to the world.
