Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu has set a new world record for the longest press conference in history, his office announced on Sunday.
The marathon session, held on Saturday to mark World Press Freedom Day, began at 10:00 a.m. and lasted nearly 15 hours, wrapping up after approximately 14 hours and 54 minutes. President Muizzu paused only briefly for prayers during the event.
According to the President’s office, this surpassed the previous record set by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In October 2019, Ukraine’s National Records Agency reported that Zelensky’s 14-hour press conference had broken the earlier record of more than seven hours, held by Belarusian politician Alexander Lukashenko.
During Saturday’s event, President Muizzu fielded a wide range of questions from journalists and responded to public queries submitted through the media, his office said. (Newswire)
