Brasília – “I am very proud to be the first woman, a Brazilian woman, to open the United Nations General Assembly,” declared president Dilma Rousseff on her regular Monday morning radio program, Breakfast with the President, that was pre-recorded this week before she went to New York.

Dilma said her speech would touch on important issues that Brazil has a lot to tell the world about in the areas of transparent governance, combating chronic disease and dealing with economic crises [note: the opening of the 66th UN General Assembly is tomorrow, Wednesday, September 21].
