The United States cannot alone resolve all major global problems and it needs co-operation of other major countries to successfully address the issues of poverty, climate change and terrorism, US President Barack Obama said today.

"If we want to be successful on climate change, on countering terrorism, on making sure that we are reducing extreme poverty around the world, all the major countries have to be involved in that process. And Brazil we consider to be an absolutely indispensable partner in these efforts," Obama told reporters at a joint White House news conference with the Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.

"On issues like global health, we're not going to succeed unless we're working with Brazil and other major countries so that we can identify where there might be the outbreak of a disease, how we prevent it from turning into a pandemic," he said in response to a question.
