US President Barack Obama to address the UN General Assembly for the eighth and last time

US President Barack Obama will be addressing the UN General Assembly for the eighth and last time on Tuesday and, in the course of his speech, he is expected to review some of the trends that have been shaping the international order for many years. This has been disclosed by one of his close aides.
President Obama will leave Washington DC for New York on Sunday morning to attend the annual General Assembly Session as the US President.
This has been reported in thestatesman.com dated 17 September 2016.

Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes has informed the media during a conference call that President Obama would possibly offer his thoughts in this final forum to address the entire world about the types of approaches that they need to take as a national community to deal with a myriad of challenges.
He is also likely to talk about "how we can ensure that we're continuing to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth; how we are promoting the type of inclusive governance that both respects the rights of individuals around the world, but also facilitate to the many challenges that we face -- governance obviously being a critical component of what is needed to deal with issues in the Middle East and North Africa -- and then discuss the type of international cooperation we're seeking to build."
Rhodes also added that President Obama could talk on the Paris model because it involves nearly every country in the world who have to step forward and make commitments to work together to deal with the global challenge. The President could also discuss how we can apply international cooperation to deal with the many issues that are shaping this period in time.
