Polish president refuses to take joint photo with Lukashenko as part of COP29

Polish President Andrzej Duda refused to take a joint photo on the margins of COP29, now being held in Baku. The reason was the presence of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Interia news website writes, referring to the close circle of the Polish president.

“This was a conscious decision of Mr. President. A family photo is a family photo; Mr. President decided that he did not want to have a family photo with Alexander Lukashenko,” the news website was told.
