Lukashenko reproached the UN Secretariat for blatant bureaucracy
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, speaking in Baku at the World Climate Summit, reproached the UN Secretariat for excessive bureaucracy regarding the speaking time limits, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
"Since it is practically impossible to say anything within three minutes due to such excessive bureaucracy of the UN Secretariat, I will limit myself to a few sentences," the head of state said.
The fact is that at the World Climate Summit, a three-minute speaking limit has been set for the session with heads of state.
"It's time to move from words to deeds." Lukashenko voiced proposals for combating climate change
Alexander Lukashenko explained his position in a brief interview with journalists after his speech. He noted that the organization of the summit, hosted by Azerbaijan this year, is brilliant. "This is the only thing that can be assessed positively. But it is very expensive," he noted.
Answering a question about his overall impression, the President said: "Disgusting. I spoke in theses because, due to the excessive bureaucracy of the UN Secretariat, it's all useless. What can you say in three minutes... Everyone reports how great they are. But it has gotten even worse. I mentioned three wars that pollute the atmosphere. The Houthis are being suppressed there for unknown reasons, there is a war in the Middle East (with great prospects for other countries to be drawn in), and a war in Ukraine. These are just the major ones. And there are more than 50 such conflicts. This pollutes the atmosphere above all else. I spoke about this in Dubai (at the previous similar summit a year ago. - BELTA note)."
