Leaders gathered at a G20 meeting and were filmed by the media chatting before taking their seats to attend a meeting.
Minutes before discussions were scheduled to begin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was seen confused at where the Chinese President was.
After looking around the room, Ms Merkel enquired about where President Xi Jinping had gone.
She asked: “China is absent?
“No China in this world.”
Ms Merkel then took a swift look at her watch to check the time, as the seat designated for the Chinese leader remained empty.
The Chinese President was later seen sauntering past the media to take his seat at the table before the meeting started.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump can be seen chatting to President Emmanuel Macron.
The German Chancellor was spotted with a stern look on her face, clearly wanting to stick to the itinerary.
Ms Merkel was also captured at the G20 summit rolling her eyes during a conversation with Vladimir Putin.
At the summit in Hamburg, President Trump hailed his head-to-head meeting with the Russian President as “tremendous”.
He told reporters: “President Putin and I have been discussing various things and I think it’s going very well.
“We’ve had some very, very good talks. We’re going to have a talk now and obviously, that will continue.
