The official event took place when Ishaq Dar opened his arms formally to dignitaries during a dinner in front. According to the people who were sitting there or to photographs and websites that have been circulating online, according to officials and media in the room, the Deputy Prime Minister lost his balance, falling to the floor in front of the people.

However, aides and security personnel helped his aid, helping him get back on his feet quickly, showing no visible injuries. No major injuries were reported and sources revealed Ishaq Dar was okay.

At the same time, the welcome went ahead, the Deputy Prime Minister resumed his duties and welcomed the visiting delegation. Social media has since shared the incident as well and people expressed relief that no harm was done.

There are no health concerns in the fall, as officials say, but to this point it seems to have been an inadvertent slip but it did not turn to be serious. Even though these instances occur rarely because they occur so rarely in high-profile diplomatic settings, they are all the more illustrative of the unpredictability of live-and-seen public events.

This month, Ishaq Dar, a senior political figure in Pakistan, has been engaged in both diplomacy and economic activities during the last few months. A quick recovery as a result of the fall will also help to keep things moving into the next phase.
