United States President Barack Obama is likely to touch upon the issue of recent unrest in the Muslimworld over an anti-Islam film during his speech at the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York tomorrow, officials said.  

Obama travels to New York today to attend 67th annual session of General assembly of the world body.   

Noting that the UN General Assembly always provides anopportunity for the US President to put the international situation in context and to put forward a vision of American leadership, National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said he would certainly expect Obama to address the recentunrest in the Muslim world, and the broader context of the democratic transitions in the Arab World.   

"As he has in recent days, the President will make it clear that we reject the views in this video, while also underscoring that violence is never acceptable '" a message that has been echoed by the leaders he has personally reached out to in places like Libya, Egypt and Yemen," Vietor said.   

"He will also send a clear message that the United States will never retreat from the world; will bring justice to those who harm Americans; and will stand strongly for our democratic values abroad," he said.
