Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will head for Brazil next week to attend the Rio+20 Summit, a major UN-organized international environmental conference, Press TV reports.
Mir-Qassem Mo’meni, the head of the Iran-Brazil friendship association, said Monday that President Ahmadinejad, heading a delegation, will leave for Brazil on June 19 to attend the conference, ISNA reported.
He said representatives from some 150 countries will take part in the conference in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.
