Brazil Opens UN General Assembly Speeches Followed by Host United States
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) traditionally begins with Brazil delivering the first speech, followed by the United States as the host country. This practice dates back to the early years of the UN when Brazil volunteered to speak first as other countries hesitated. The speaking order thereafter considers factors like representation level, geographical balance, and request timing. The 81st UNGA session opened on September 22, 2026, with world leaders gathering in New York for speeches and diplomatic discussions.
