President Klaus to address UN

Czech President Václav Klaus is set to address the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York on Saturday. The current UN session is focusing on a reform of global governance, a principle President Klaus attacked in a lecture he delivered earlier this week in the US. At John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Mr Klaus said global governance was one of the most dangerous ideas of recent times, labelling it “complete left-wing cosmopolitan nonsense”. After Mr Klaus’ speech, the Czech delegation to the UN will return to Prague.
