Polish President Andrzej Duda declined to take a joint photo with other leaders at the UN climate summit in Baku, refusing to pose alongside Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko

According to Polsat News, the photo opportunity was a symbolic moment where leaders from participating countries pose together. However, Duda consciously chose to skip the photo, just as he did last year, as a protest against Belarus’ involvement in the war in Ukraine.

Sources close to the president said Duda did not want to be included in a “family photo” with Lukashenko.

"A family photo is a family photo, and the president decided he didn’t want to share one with Alexander Lukashenko," the source explained.

The annual UN climate summit COP29 kicked off in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Monday, November 11. The summit aims to assess the current state of the climate, set international standards, and promote their implementation.
