Embarrassing Mix-Up: Lebanese PM's Awkward Encounter at Beirut Airport

As expected, the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, arrived at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport , at seven o'clock yesterday evening, Tuesday.

She was welcomed by the caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati.

What was not expected was an embarrassing situation for PM Mikati, as he greeted a woman in the Italian delegation, led by Meloni, by mistakenly kissing her, thinking she was his Italian counterpart.

Social media circulated a video showing the moment of reception.
