President Leonel Fernandez will travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil next week to attend the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. He 20 to 22 June meeting will gather heads of state, world leaders, and thousands of participants from governments, the private sector, NGOs and other groups, to discuss how to reduce poverty, advance social equity and ensure environmental protection on an ever more crowded planet to get to the future we want.
