Brazil has not yet been seen for all participants of the United Nations General Assembly (UN), which will be held in New York next week, Itamaraty said during a press to the press on Monday morning (15).
“Those who have already participated in the previous assembly have seen three years old, but those who first go to the first time are still without the document, among them, two ministers of state,” said the director of the Department of International Organizations of the Brazilian Foreign Ministry, Marcelo Marotta Viegas.
He also said that Itamaraty has indication that the visas that have not yet been granted are in processing. “But I cannot speculate. To go to the UN there is an obligation to grant visas. Our expectation is not to think that the United States will not fulfill their legal obligations,” said Viegas.
As usual, the president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, will make the first speech at the UN General Assembly, on the morning of 23. The expectation is that he will speak in defense of the Palestinian state.
According to the briefing released today at Itamaraty headquarters in Brasilia, Lula’s agenda is also expected to participate in the Palestine’s peaceful solutions, convened by France, the co-president with Chile and Spain of an event in defense of Democracy and the UN Secretary-General António Guterres, from the Climate Cooperation event aimed at COP30, and the support for TFF (Fund Tropical Forests Forever, from Tropical Forest Forever Facility).
Asked about Donald Trump’s presence at the Assembly, Viegas said he believed that the US President will participate in the event and the discussions.
Brazilian participants also hope to be able to work on topics that will be dealt with at COP 30, which will be held in Belém in November.
“We face significant geopolitical challenges, skepticism of multilateralism to boost answers. With the Paris agreement we are heading 2.7 degrees centigrade, without it would be more than 4. We have to focus on what works and reflect what does not work so well,” said Mario Mottin, head of the Division of Climate Action of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to him, after ten years of the Paris Agreement this will be an opportunity to reflect on the collective responses to these challenges.
