Organisers of the climate change summit hosted by South Korea expressed 'regret that we did not thoroughly check during the preparatory stage'.

The opening ceremony for the P4G, or Partnering for Green Growth, summit at the weekend featured speeches from world leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.

The mistake prompted online ridicule while the country's main opposition People Power Party slammed the Moon administration, calling it a "diplomatic disaster". Seoul's presidential Blue House said the video was created by an external production company that had been working under a "tight schedule". Critics had already questioned the administration's diplomatic capacity after US President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping did not join the two-day virtual summit, despite earlier expectations they would do so.
