Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman managed to steal the spotlight at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires as they merely exchanged a high-five during the event.
The cheerful manner with which the two men greeted each other has apparently caught the eye of quite a few reporters, with the video of the exchange quickly going viral.
