Washington: US President George W Bush, who raised eyebrows with an impromptu neck massage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel last year, promised her on Thursday not to repeat it.
"No back rubs," he told her with a smile at the end of a joint news conference after White House talks.
The German chancellor smiled sheepishly in response.
Merkel had raised her shoulders in surprise last July at a Group of Eight summit in St. Petersburg when Bush, in a gesture of friendliness, approached her from behind and put his hands on her shoulders and squeezed.
Videotape of the massage was posted on websites around the world.
