Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan broke the diplomatic protocol at the opening ceremony of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit (SCO) in Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek on Friday. The video has been shared on the official Twitter handle of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

In the video, Imran Khan is seen sitting while everyone else stood to welcome the dignitaries entering the hall, including Russin President Vladimir Putin.

Upon realising that he was perhaps the only one seated while the others stood to welcome the other head of states, Imran Khan stood briefly and then sat again.
Imran Khan earlier broke the diplomatic protocol at the 14th OIC summit held in Saudi Arabia last week.

During a meeting with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz at the sidelines of the summit, Imran Khan spoke to Salman's interpreter for a few minutes and walked off while the message was still being translated to the Saudi king.
Someone should teach little bit ethics of Diplomacy to this man. Meanwhile, it is heard that the Saudi king has cancelled meeting with Imran Khan because of his nonsensical attitude. I though wish that it’s just a rumour since we have to beg a lot more. Imran Khan was criticised by his own countrymen and Saudi Arabia for insulting the king.
