新西兰女总理带娃到联合国开会
With a mock security pass listing her as the "first baby" of New Zealand, 3-month-old Neve Te Aroha made her United Nations debut on Monday when her mother, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, spoke at a peace summit in the General Assembly. Ardern is her country's youngest head of state and the first to take maternity leave while in office. Her partner Clarke Gayford, who is the baby's full-time caregiver, sat with the New Zealand delegation and held Neve as Ardern spoke. Gayford posted a photo on Twitter of Neve's security pass for the annual gathering of world leaders in New York. He added: "I wish I could have captured the startled look on a Japanese delegation inside the UN yesterday who walked into a meeting room in the middle of a nappy change." The UN was delighted to see baby Neve in the General Assembly Hall, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. "Prime Minister Ardern is showing that no one is better qualified to represent her country than a working mother. Just 5 percent of the world's leaders are women, so we need to make them as welcome here as possible," he said. |
