The foreign ministry is under criticism for hosting a dinner and drinks session for a visiting U.S. delegation amid tightened social distancing regulations intended to combat further spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Internet users are denouncing the government for its double standard, telling people to follow the guidelines while public officials themselves do not.
