Bush senior jokes about son to Manmohan

Tokyo: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had a chance meeting here on Friday with the former United States' President, George H.W. Bush.

Mr. Bush was at the Four Seasons hotel here along with his wife Barbara to attend an event.

"I hope my son is behaving. If he is not, you should tell Barbara," Mr. Bush told Dr. Singh.

When the former President came to know Dr. Singh is in the hotel, he decided to meet him.

As Dr. Singh was attending a banquet hosted by his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe, Mr. Bush preferred to wait in the lobby. The two had a brief interaction after Dr. Singh came out. — PTI
