Nicola Sturgeon has revealed she met United States President Biden at a reception last night in Glasgow.
The First Minister said she spoke to the US head of state “briefly” at the Kelvingrove Museum event.
Biden is among over 120 world leaders at COP26 in Glasgow this week - an event dubbed a “last chance” to deal with the climate crisis.
The United Nations event is being hosted by the UK, but Sturgeon as leader of the Scottish Government has appeared at fringe events promoting her administration’s net zero policies.
Last night she attended an event at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum that was attended by leaders and royals.
Asked if she spoke to President Biden, who issued a rallying call for urgent action earlier in the day, she said:
“I spoke to him briefly last night at Kelvingrove.
"I welcomed him to Scotland. We had a very brief conversation about the climate discussions that are underway here.
“I spoke to a large number of the leaders.”
