Angela Merkel greeted global leaders in Hamburg ahead of today's G20 summit - but if these pictures are anything to go by, some were more welcome than others.

President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker is well known for being over-affectionate, but the German Chancellor didn't seem to mind too much as she leaned in for one of his signature pecks.

Image: Justin Trudeau went in for the kiss

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has won himself a cult social media following as, shall we say, one of the world's more attractive leaders.

And it seems Mrs Merkel agrees.


Image: But she looked like she could take or leave Emmanuel Macron's advances

However, Mr Trudeau might have some competition from France's Emmanuel Macron.

While it was definitely a more one-sided encounter as he went in for the kiss, it was clearly a moment the French President treasures, as he later took to his Twitter account to immortalise it in the form of an animated GIF.

It was Russian President Vladimir Putin who came out on top in the intensity stakes - maybe he was trying to catch a quick glimpse into Mrs Merkel's soul?

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's Minister of State Ibrahim Abdulaziz Al-Assaf was the only who got a bow.

And things cooled off a bit as Mrs Merkel greeted India's Narendra Modi with a firm handshake.

Image: There was no love lost between Mrs Merkel and Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

It looks like President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey told Mrs Merkel to talk to the hand.

Image: Mrs Merkel seemed thrilled to see Donald Tusk

But Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, was welcomed with open arms.

Meanwhile, the other Donald was the clear winner when it came to awkwardness - opting for an arms-length shoulder pat in response to Mrs Merkel's grimace.

Image: It was a rather different story as she greeted Donald Trump

Image: However, that didn't seem to bother the US President too much

However, his follow-up fist-pump seems to suggest the US President felt it actually went quite well.
