Hello Mic: Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov ‘Shakes Hands’ With Microphone
05:36 GMT 25.01.2019 (Updated: 19:34 GMT 19.10.2022) Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov greeted his microphone, which was too close to him at a press conference in Algeria, and gave it a firm handshake.
In the footage of the meeting, one of the sound engineers pulls the bar with the microphone too close to the visiting Russian dignitary. Lavrov responded diplomatically by "greeting" the microphone, after which the source of annoyance was removed. His impromptu act of cordiality made the audience laugh.
