French president Nicolas Sarkozy and his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Silva will also make a speech on that day. US government granted visa to M.Ahmedinejad through embassy in Bern. Iranian President M. Ahmedinejad will stay in New York for two days and will be accompanied by high-level officials. A senior State Department official tells the waiver will be granted because of the limited nature of his visit.
