After President Witoelar tried to reconvene parties to the session, the delegation of China demanded that session be adjourned until the Foreign Ministers concluded on the informal talks on others still on the agenda. The secretariat suggested that they could break for a few minutes, and China responded by demanding an apology for the lack of respect for trying to push the agenda while the Foreign Ministers met separately. China questioned if the UNFCCC Secretariat was really the Secretariat of everyone, or just a few countries.

As negotiations go on for hours, the tensions continues to grow. Are Parties ready for a Bali Breakthrough?
