Traian Băsescu, despre participarea președintelui la Adunarea Generală a ONU: „E o pierdere de vreme”

Former President Traian Băsescu criticized the participation of heads of state in the UN General Assembly, calling it often a waste of time. He shared his experience, noting he attended only once during his ten years in office. Băsescu emphasized that the president's presence is more crucial when the country holds the temporary presidency of the Security Council. He also mentioned the potential benefits of attending, such as networking opportunities, including a reception hosted by the U.S. President for attending leaders. His comments come as current President Nicușor Dan prepares to attend the 81st UN General Assembly session in New York.
