One of the striking moments during the family photo session of the NATO Leaders Summit in Ankara was Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's white sneakers. While Rama's style of pairing his suit with sneakers drew attention, moments when President Erdoğan looked at the shoes were captured by cameras.

During the official family photo shoot of the NATO Leaders Summit hosted by Turkey, leaders took their places one by one in the protocol area. As much as the official agenda of the summit, the striking moments among the leaders were also captured by the cameras.

EDI RAMA ARRIVED AGAIN WITH SPORTS SHOES

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama completed his formal suit with white sports shoes. Rama, who had previously drawn attention with similar style at international summits, became a focus of interest at the NATO Summit in Ankara with his choice.

ERDOĞAN'S GAZE CAUGHT ON CAMERA

In the images, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was seen briefly shifting his gaze to Rama's white sports shoes as he approached. The two leaders then took their places for the photo shoot.

STRIKING FRAMES AT THE SUMMIT CAME ONE AFTER ANOTHER

Not only critical security topics but also striking moments between leaders made the agenda at the summit in Ankara. While images showing the distance between US President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni were previously discussed, this brief moment between Erdoğan and Edi Rama before the family photo was one of the notable details captured by cameras.
