Juliet Kabera, a delegate for Rwanda, expressed frustration over the negotiations, emphasizing that "a small number of countries had remained unsupportive of the measures necessary to drive real change." She remarked that Rwanda cannot accept a toothless treaty, signaling a strong desire for substantial commitments from all nations to effectively address plastic pollution.
Abdulrahman Al Gwaiz, a Saudi delegate, countered calls for production limits by arguing, "If we address plastic pollution, there should be no problem with producing plastics. The problem is pollution itself, not plastics." This perspective highlighted the tension between production concerns and environmental impact.
