Russia’s delegation to the 33rd ASEAN Summit in Singapore, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, were physically blocked by organisers of event on Wednesday from entering a meeting room.

However, it looks like the incident was not down to the overzealousness of the staff or the overly-keen Russian delegation. It appears that in Singapore etiquette dictates that the Russian leader and host shake hands and have a photo together before a bi-lateral meeting. No one appeared to take offence from the misunderstanding.
