Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan could not let go of his French counterpart's finger on Friday as the world leaders met at the European Political Community summit in Albania.
The awkward interaction between Emmanuel Macron and Erdogan was caught on camera, showing the politicians greeting each other with a handshake.
Erdogan, who is sat on a chair while Macron stands by his side, is shown grabbing onto the French president's hand and shaking it.
In an unexpected gesture, the Turkish leader then tightly grips onto Macron's middle finger for a few seconds before releasing the French politician from his grasp.
The hilarious moment went viral on social media over the weekend, prompting a bag of mixed reactions among internet users.
