 President Elbegdorj probably initially felt lucky he could stand next to US President Obama during a photo shoot at the Open Government Partnership in New Work. A moment later he might not have felt that lucky

"During one of the photos, which are taken in rapid succession by a group of photographers, the president lifted his hand to wave at the cameras and blocked the man standing on his right, believed to be the president of Mongolia, Tsakhia Elbegdorj."
