The country's leader then imitated world famous boxer Muhammad Ali and showed off his best "Ali Shuffle", a quick footed move used to taunt opponents.
The president was heard shouting: "As Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) !" before launching into the move.
The impromptu boxing match was enacted in good spirits and the pair shook hands afterwards.
