text: The next speaker is the representative of Brazil. I invite him to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement. 77. Mr. CORRl?A da COSTA (Brazil) (intcrpretc~tim firm7 Sprrru’sh):* First, Mr. President, I should like to thank you and the other members of the Council for allowing me to take part in this debate. It is a great pleasure and honour to do so at a time when you have just assumed the presidency of the Council. 1 do not doubt that, with your diplomatic qualifications, you will lead this body to success in its work during the month of June.

There is no mention of economic, environmental, or social issues, which suggests that the topic is more related to international relations and politics.
