247 - CNN Brazil reported this Friday (24) that former President Dilma Rousseff is expected to accompany President Lula on his trip to China, scheduled for the end of March. 

Dilma's trip to Beijing should confirm her as president of the BRICS Bank, the financial arm of the bloc that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Dilma's nomination for the position has been a recurring theme in conversations between Finance Minister Fernando Haddad and his counterparts from member countries at the G20 meeting in India. 

Marcos Troyjo is the current president of the bank. According to CNN, the BRICS nations have expressed displeasure with the Brazilian's timid performance.
