The Face Behind the Viral Photograph
International summits are usually dominated by presidents, prime ministers and major political announcements. However, several officials work behind the scenes to make these meetings possible.
Diplomats and government officers assist with communication, coordination, meeting arrangements and discussions between countries. Their work may not always be visible, but it plays an important role in international diplomacy.
Sidharth Babu’s appearance in the photograph attracted attention because social media users became curious about the young official standing alongside some of the world’s most recognisable leaders.
