UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer began the G20 summit in South Africa rather unsuccessfully, almost falling face-to-face on the floor.
A gathering of leaders representing the world's largest economies will be held in Johannesburg on 22-23 November.
South Africa took the rotational presidency of the group in December 2024, becoming the first African country to chair the forum.
Barely Starmer set ft on South African land, nearly fell face-to-face, moving towards a group of business leaders before the main meeting.
The gathering video shows the Prime Minister stumbling over his own legs, trying to shake his hand without any obstacle in sight.
He pulled out his hands, barely recovering at the last minute.
Starmer experienced a akin awkward situation earlier this month, after arriving in Brazil for the UN Climate Conference (COP 30).
When the British Prime Minister was getting off the plane, he tripped on the metallic stairs and nearly fell on the airfield plate.
However, Starmer managed to regain his balance this time.
