Yes, as a symbol of respect. Obama, like most world leaders, bows in the presence of other world leaders. (Saudi Princes bowed back.) This has made other nations friendlier to Obama and his policies because the act of bowing to other leaders dignifies their position as the officials in other countries. It should also be noted that President Bush also observed this custom of bowing.
