Sharm el-Sheikh, Nov 08: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday made a dramatic exit when his aides rushed him out during an ongoing session of the COP27 summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

In another tweet, Hickman said that an aide come onto the stage and whispered in Sunak's ear for more than a minute, what seemed like a discussion of whether he should be leaving at the moment.

The newly-appointed British prime minister did not leave the stage at first, but he left the chair and got out of the room when another aide came up to him.
