PM Modi arrived in New York today from Washington, where he will speak at the UN General Assembly’s 76th session on September 25. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the UNGA was essentially held last year.
After holding his first bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden in the Oval Office of the White House and attending his first in-person Quad summit on his second day in the United States, Modi travelled. The prime minister attended the Quad Leaders conference in Washington, which was hosted by US President Biden, with his counterparts from Australia, Scott Morrison, and Japan, Yoshihide Suga.
“New York City is where I’ve arrived. On the 25th, at 6:30 p.m. (IST), will deliver a speech to the United Nations General Assembly “in a tweet, the prime minister said
On Saturday morning, Modi will deliver a speech to world leaders at the UN General Debate. He will be the first world leader to speak at the UN. India’s ambassador to the United States, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, and India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, T S Tirumurti, greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the airport.
On Saturday, Modi will speak at the UN General Assembly’s (UNGA) 76th Session’s General Debate.
The subject of this year’s General Debate is “Building Resilience through Hope: Recovering from COVID-19, rebuilding sustainably, responding to the demands of the earth, respecting people’s rights, and revitalising the United Nations.”
Around 109 heads of state and government will speak in person at the General Debate, according to the second provisional list of speakers for the General Assembly, with nearly 60 others offering thoughts via pre-recorded video messages.
Following bilateral conversations with Prime Minister Modi, US President Joe Biden stated that the US and India are committed to working together to address the most difficult challenges that both countries confront.
“This morning, I welcomed Prime Minister Modi to the White House to begin a new chapter in US-India ties. Our two countries are the world’s largest democracies, and we’re committed to working together to address the most difficult issues we confront “Biden responded with a tweet.
In 2019, Modi addressed the United Nations General Assembly for the first time. Because the coronavirus pandemic precluded heads of state and government from physically attending the annual United Nations General Assembly session in September last year, world leaders submitted pre-recorded video statements.
The high-level session was held virtually for the first time in the UN’s 75-year history.
Since the pandemic continues to rage through multiple countries around the world, the option for world leaders to send in pre-recorded messages has been kept available this year as well.
