Brasília – Brazil and another four nations should receive today (19) award “Special Recognition for South-South Solidarity” for the country support to the recovery and reconstruction of the countries in southeast Asia that were affected by tsunamis at the end of 2004. The ceremony will take place at the United Nations (UN) offices in New York (USA). The award will be given by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). Brazil was chosen due to the country prominence in private sector contributions. The other four countries honoured are China, Algeria, Benin and Samoa.
