Western business wear is standard in many workplaces around the globe, even in countries where the usual daily wear may be a distinctive national costume.
Some non-Western businesspeople will wear national costume nonetheless. A Saudi Arabian sheikh may wear the traditional robes and headdress to an international conference; United Arab Emirates diplomats in particular are noted for attending conventions of the United Nations General Assembly in full keffiyeh and thawb. Diplomats of the People's Republic of China are similarly noted for wearing the Mao suit to international events; Indian leaders often wear Nehru jackets, with Manmohan Singh wearing a suit-like combination including such a jacket with his Sikh turban. Wearing national costume in such contexts can proclaim national pride, or just extremely high status which allows the wearer to defy convention.

Indeed, maybe that's what's happening here: the corporate chieftain showing his power among those in the room. Let Zuckerberg peacock; he is within his full rights to. Does a client have to dress however his banker does?
