Brazil President Rousseff to Address UN General Assembly for First Time
Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff has arrived in New York in preparation of her address to the United Nations General Assembly. This visit is historic on several fronts: it’s the first time Rousseff has attended the UN General Assembly and it’s the first time a woman opens the General Debate segment of the meeting.
Prior to addressing the UN on Wednesday, Rousseff will meet with President Obama on Tuesday. Both are expected to promote government transparency, public access to information and global prevention of noncommunicable diseases.
Over 120 world leaders are expected in New York for the UN General Assembly where Palestine’s bid for UN membership is likely to be the highlight. A lot of attention is also expected around the ‘Arab Spring’ and general unrest in that region.
