International talks on curbing plastic pollution fail to reach agreement
Briefly

Delegates at the Busan meeting expressed frustration over unresolved critical issues impeding agreement on a landmark treaty to curb plastic pollution, showcasing deep divisions among participant nations.
Luis Vayas Valdivieso noted, "We must also recognise that a few critical issues still prevent us from reaching a comprehensive agreement...additional time will be needed to address them effectively."
Rwandan delegate Juliet Kabera stated, "Rwanda cannot accept a toothless treaty, highlighting the need for substantial measures to effect real change in tackling plastic pollution."
Some delegates continue to accuse a handful of nations of obstructing efforts, emphasizing, as one French minister stated, that this like-minded group is resisting progress toward an ambitious treaty.
