If two motorcades carrying prime ministers meet at an intersection, which one gets priority?

Right now, we've got a boatload (well, for Boston) of foreign dignitaries flitting around, leading to all sorts of motorcade spottings and resulting traffic tieups all over the place, from Harvard Square to the Bank of America building downtown. The prime minister of Vietnam is in town. So's the prime minister of Ireland. The speaker of the House of Commons in the UK is about as well - as is our former speaker of the house, who granted, probably doesn't get flags on the cars in his motorcade, but still.

I believe the rule is

"Neither shall proceed until the other has gone."

Irresistible force meets

Irresistible force meets immovable object: a fire truck or ambulance with lights flashing approaches a stopped school bus with lights flashing. Who has priority?

Emergency response gets priority

I'd expect that the responders would have enough situational awareness to reduce speed (as they do when crossing red-lit intersections etc), and I would hope that any grownups around would make sure that kids were safely out of the way while the emergency vehicles passed by.
