It’s best to show up on time for a meeting even though you may end up waiting.

It is best to pay respect to the highest ranking person in the room and then follow accordingly. Greet elders or VIPs first, but not at the extent of ignoring others.

Always start with the requisite greetings – how are you, how is your family, how is work, etc. This can go on for minutes before getting down to any business.

The person who is hosting the meeting should open, lead, and close the meeting.

Government officials, directors, etc. (generally the highest ranking person) will usually start and end the meeting, but as a foreigner, you will likely be invited to speak.
