Chinese Minister of Ecology and Environment Huang Runqiu, who is leading the meeting of the U.N.-backed COP15 biodiversity conference, brought down the official gavel and declared a proposed deal passed, minutes after the Congolese representative expressed their objection.

As the members returned to the public hall, Huang began presenting the outcome of the meeting.

"The parties which are developed nations should provide resources to parties which are developing," the Congolese representative said through a translator.Huang acknowledged the Mexican remarks and then brought down the gavel declaring the deal adopted, drawing outraged comments from other African delegations.
