RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's President Michel Temer left Thursday evening for Argentina's capital Buenos Aires to attend the 13th Group of 20 (G20) summit.

It will be Temer's last participation in the summit, as he is leaving office on January 1. As Temer does not have a vice-president, Rodrigo Maia, the head of the house, would serve as interim president during his absence.

According to his office, Temer will have private meetings with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto.

The government said Brazil's priorities in the meeting will be foreign trade, climate change and labor regulations.
