Modi snubbed again: Macron ignores handshake at AI Summit

A viral video circulating on social media shows French president greeting everyone around

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi faced yet another diplomatic embarrassment when French President Emmanuel Macron seemingly refused to shake hands with him at the AI Summit in Paris.

A viral video circulating on social media shows Macron greeting everyone around but deliberately skipping Modi.

The French president warmly shook hands with US Vice President J.D. Vance, who was seated next to Modi, but completely ignored the Indian leader despite his apparent attempt to engage.

Macron also greeted UN Secretary-General António Guterres and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen with enthusiasm, further highlighting the snub.

The incident has sparked widespread discussion online, with many mocking Modi’s awkward moment on the global stage.
