UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday said it was convincing and impressive that so many nations were represented at the Budapest Water Summit.
All these countries have recognised that water is a common cause, the secretary-general told a press conference.
Hungarian President Janos Ader said mankind has reached the 24th hour to remind decision-makers of the world of their responsibility for the safe water supply of the generations to come.
"We should no longer knock at the doors of decision-makers with the intention of change. It is high time to pound on them," he said.
Ban Ki-moon highly appreciated that Ader had taken a stand for the significance of water. He said that Hungary was playing a key role in raising awareness of water-related issues in the wider world.
The UN Secretary General said that all countries had an interest in solving problems generated by the climate change. For this reason, he has convened a summit meeting for next September.
