GECF Summit: Putin Welcomes World Leaders With Handshakes In Moscow, Addresses Energy Crisis

Video summary

Press to jump

0:23The camera shows the circular conference table and a lineup of national flags.
0:57Media cameras and country-name floor markers are ready for the photo session.
1:29Putin steps onto the stage and begins greeting arriving delegates.
2:11Libya's Presidential Council chairman, Mohamed al-Menfi, shakes hands and briefly speaks with Putin.
3:11The footage begins repeating the preparations and greetings; no energy-policy address follows.

First, the handshakes. Vladimir Putin takes his place against a summit backdrop as delegates arrive individually, their names announced before they step forward to greet him.

MIRROR NOW's footage from the Gas Exporting Countries Forum summit in Moscow has drawn about 115,000 views in 14 hours, far beyond the channel's usual opening for a regular video. The gathering brings together natural gas producers to discuss energy markets, development and cooperation.

Before Putin appears, the camera shows the machinery of the occasion: staff moving through the hall, a circular conference table, rows of national flags and country-name markers laid out for the photographs. Libya's Presidential Council chairman, Mohamed al-Menfi, is among those shown shaking hands and briefly speaking with the Russian president.

The summit description also lists Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Mozambican President Daniel Chapo among the attendees.

Despite the title's promise that Putin addresses the energy crisis, this upload is arrival footage, not a policy speech. After the initial sequence of greetings, it repeats the preparations and handshakes. Viewers looking for proposals on gas supplies or prices will find summit protocol here instead.
