Overview

  • President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will travel to New York on Sept. 20 and deliver the opening address at the 81st UN General Assembly on Sept. 22, a slot Brazil has traditionally held.
  • Itamaraty says Lula will spotlight international cooperation and recent bilateral agreements as tools to fight transnational criminal groups such as the PCC and CV.
  • The Brazilian delegation will present a preliminary negotiation on a protocol to combat environmental crimes, pairing conservation diplomacy with security priorities.
  • No formal bilateral meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled, though both leaders may encounter each other at the Assembly opening after public U.S. criticism of Brazil's handling of criminal factions.
  • The trip is compact and focused: a smaller ministerial delegation will accompany Lula, he is expected to meet UN Secretary‑General António Guterres on Sept. 22 to discuss Security Council reform, and the agenda signals Brazil's push to shape rules for cross‑border crime and environmental enforcement.
