“This can be regarded as the completely irresponsible attitude of the United States of America to its duties, as a state hosting on its territory a world organization, the United Nations. In accordance with the existing agreement on the location of the headquarters, the US authorities must immediately issue visas to all participants in the UN events ... Therefore, the issue of moving the headquarters from the USA, for example, to Europe is becoming more and more urgent, ”Morozov said.
According to the deputy, visa issuance to Russian diplomats has become a peculiar trend.
“I think this is due to the sluggishness of consular workers and visa services in America, who, in general, are in no hurry to fulfill their duties ... Therefore, serious measures must be taken in accordance with this,” he concluded.
Earlier, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said that Washington had not issued a visa to the UN for the visit of the UN Deputy Director of the Department of New Challenges to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
He also emphasized that "such actions are seriously damaging the US reputation."
