The 29-year-old tech mogul even managed to shed his trademark hoodie as he donned a smart suit for the encounter in Seoul. President Park Geun-hye has held summits with a number of leading figures from the tech world as she seeks to entrench South Korea's position as one of the world's most connected countries.

The pair were photographed looking friendly but formal - and unlike Bill Gates, who committed a faux pas by keeping one hand in his pocket while greeting the president, Mr Zuckerberg seems to have avoided offending his host. Ms Park praised Facebook's achievements in becoming the world's most popular social network, and joked: 'It is pleasing to meet people via Facebook, but it is even more pleasing to meet face to face like this.' Mr Zuckerberg is usually seen in a charcoal-grey hoodie, but has been known to dig out a suit during meetings with world leaders such as Russia's Dmitry Medvedev. However, he soon returned to his favoured laid-back look when he visited the Samsung headquarters for a meeting with executives.

The summit was overshadowed by a notorious photograph showing Mr Gates and Ms Park shaking hands while the American had his other hand in his pocket, prompting accusations of disrespect.
