BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's incoming interim President Michel Temer will seek to undertake pension reform as one the first measures of his government to reduce the country's mounting debt burden and regain investors' trust, one of his top advisers told Reuters on Thursday.

Centrist Temer was due to take the helm of the country later on Thursday, hours after the Senate voted to suspend President Dilma Rousseff to stand trial for breaking budgetary laws.
