RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday said he will attend this year's World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos to present a "different Brazil."

The forum, scheduled for Jan. 22-25 in Switzerland, will be the first international event for Bolsonaro, who took office on Jan. 1.

Bolsonaro said via Twitter that he is "confident and glad about this great opportunity" to present world leaders a "different Brazil."

"I will show our desire to trade with the whole world, cherishing economic freedom, bilateral agreements and fiscal health. With these pillars, Brazil will advance towards full employment and prosperity," Bolsonaro said.

The president will undergo another surgery after the forum to remove a colostomy bag attached after he survived a stabbing attack during his campaign rally last September.
