@goldchamd: ** title:** “Why Malaysia’s PM Wife Skipped the Handshake with Xi” ** description:** At the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, Malaysia’s First Lady, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, made headlines when she politely declined to shake hands with Chinese President Xi Jinping — instead greeting his wife, Peng Liyuan. This wasn’t a snub, but a cultural choice. In Islamic tradition, physical contact between women and men outside their family is often avoided. Her respectful gesture has sparked important conversations about cultural awareness in diplomacy. ** hashtags:** #Malaysia #Diplomacy #CulturalRespect #IslamicEtiquette #MuslimTraditions
