UN diplomat in drunken rant against boss

Sha Zukang, whose role at the UN is undersecretary general for economic and social affairs, was leading a toast at a dinner in Alpbach, Austria, according to Foreign Policy magazine.

The magazine claims a senior UN official, who attended the event, quotes Sha as saying: ‘I know you never liked me, Mr Secretary General. Well, I never liked you either.’

Sha claimed that Ban was ‘trying to get rid’ of him and could fire him ‘anytime’.

‘I did not want to come to New York. It was the last thing I wanted to do,’ the Chinese diplomat said.

‘I’ve come to love the UN and I’m coming to admire some things about you,’ he continued, offering a bit of a backtrack with a positive utterance.

Most worrying of all, perhaps, is the diplomat’s admission that he ‘doesn’t like Americans’.

Acting deputy UN spokesman Farhan Haq told the publication: ‘Sha Zukang was deeply apologetic when he met the secretary general in person early the following morning at his own request.’
