A. Secretary General Antonio Guterres "took note" of the election of Jair Bolsonaro as president of Brazil and hopes to continue the cooperation he has had with Brazil when the new president takes office on January 1.
The UN spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, said Guterres "praises the Brazilian authorities for the orderly celebration of the legislative, regional and presidential elections" and "congratulates the Brazilian people for the democratic spirit shown in their participation."
Dujarric did not answer Monday's questions about whether the UN chief was concerned about some of the views of the right-wing congressman, who had expressed extreme skepticism about the United Nations.
But he said that UN officials "hope to continue the very important relationship that the United Nations has with Brazil."

The head of the Italian right-wing League has welcomed the victory of the right-wing elected president Jair Bolsonaro with a message on Twitter extolling that "also in Brazil, the citizens sent the left home."
Matteo Salvini said on Twitter on Monday that "the friendship between our people and our governments will be even stronger."
That friendship could be helped by Bolsonaro's Italian heritage. His paternal grandfather came from the city of Anguillara Veneta, in the province of Padua, in northern Italy, while his maternal grandparents came from Lucca in Tuscany.
The mayor of Anguillara Veneta, Luigi Polo, told il Sole 24 Ore that the family emigrated in 1888 when Bolsonaro's great-grandfather was 10 years old. He says that the Italian branch of the family had lost track of their Brazilian relatives.

French President Emmanuel Macron has congratulated the populist Jair Bolsonaro for being "chosen by the Brazilian people for the presidency."
The carefully worded message of Macron appears in a statement from the Elysee that highlights the "common values" of the "promotion of democratic principles" in the two major economies.
Bolsonaro had been criticized before voting to say he would not accept the result of the election if he lost.
Monday's statement also indicates that France wants to continue working together with Brazil "to face the great contemporary challenges of our planet," including climate change.
Bolsonaro said recently that he would not abandon the Paris Climate Agreement after having previously threatened to do so.

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, says he has had "a very good conversation" with the newly elected president of the extreme right of Brazil and that they will work together in trade and the army.
Trump tweeted on Monday morning that he congratulated Jair Bolsonaro on his victory over the weekend in the Brazilian election, noting that Bolsonaro "won his race by a substantial margin."
Trump tweets: "We agree that Brazil and the United States will work together in Trade, Military and everything else! Excellent call, I wish you congratulations!"
Bolsonaro has promised to defend the Brazilian constitution and unite a divided population after a bitter campaign. While running for the presidency of Brazil, Bolsonaro considered himself a political outsider despite a 27-year career in Congress. Its rise parallels the rise of far-right leaders in many other countries.

French extreme right leader Marine Le Pen sent a message of encouragement to Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro.
Le Pen wished Bolsonaro "good luck" through his official Twitter account on Monday.
She said she will have to "rectify Brazil's fragile economic, security and democratic situation."
He also interpreted the results as a reprimand by Brazilians for "the widespread corruption and the terrifying crime that flourished in the governments of the extreme left." Le Pen has had constant praise for populist leaders around the world.
Meanwhile, the spokesman for the centrist party in the parliament of French President Emmanuel Macron, Aurore Berge, tweeted a warning about the results of the Brazilian elections that "no democracy is safe".

In some of his first words to the nation as president-elect, far-right politician Jair Bolsonaro promised to defend the constitution and unite a bitterly divided population.
His leftist rival immediately vowed to mount a vigorous opposition, while human rights groups warned against a rollback of civil liberties.
That juxtaposition underscored the reality that the end of the elections was not the end of the condemnation and that innumerable challenges are ahead for the largest nation in Latin America.
Bolsonaro appeared to try to dispel those concerns on Sunday night, and said he would "pacify" Brazil after a race that revealed deep divisions and was repeatedly marred by violence. The candidate was stabbed and almost killed while campaigning in early September, and there were numerous reports of politically motivated violence, especially targeting homosexual people.
