New Development Bank (NDB) President and former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff recently attended a major International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2025 curtain raiser event in the Chinese city of Shanghai.

The Consulate General of India in Shanghai wrote on X: "CG @PratikMathur1  and Team CGI Shanghai were honoured to have H.E. Ms. Dilma Rousseff @dilmabr , President of New Development Bank @NDB_int  and former President of Brazil, join the key #IDY2025 curtain raiser event in Shanghai today."

In her keynote address to the gathering, President Rousseff said, "Yoga is one of India's greatest gifts to the world, a practice that transcends geography, language and belief."

"Rooted in ancient wisdom, yoga teaches us how to live in balance with ourselves, with others and the world," she said.

"That's why the United Nations adopted the proposal made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to recognize June 21st as the International Day of Yoga," she said.

"Since then, this day has become a symbol of peace and resilience, values that are very important in today’s world," she said.

She also expressed her deep sorrow over the recent loss of lives in the Air India flight crash in Ahmedabad city.
