News India Live, Digital Desk: Foreign Minister: Every year in September, leaders from all over the world are eyeing New York in America, where the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has the biggest meeting. From this platform, big leaders of the world talk about their country. But this time Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not have a address on this global stage.
Yes, Prime Minister Modi will not attend the annual session of the United Nations General Assembly this year. The important responsibility of putting his favor to his place, India’s favor and leading the Indian delegation is Foreign Minister S.K. Jaishankar will handle.
Why is this meeting important?
This is the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly and this year its theme is “peace, prosperity, progress and stability” (PEACE, Prosperity, Progress and Sustainability). In this meeting, the big challenges facing the world such as war, poverty, and climate change are discussed. The leader of every country comes here and tells his view and his plans.
Big responsibility on Jaishankar’s shoulders
Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar will address the United Nations General Assembly on 24 September. This is not the first time he is representing India on this platform. He has played this role before. Apart from this address, Jaishankar will also participate in many other important meetings in New York, including meetings of G20, BRICS and other multilateral groups.
It is believed that the US President Joe Biden will also host a summit on the second day of this meeting.
Prime Minister Modi has earlier addressed the United Nations General Assembly several times, and his speeches have always been the subject of discussion. He also addressed this session last year. This time no official information has been given on the reasons behind his decision to leave, but it is clear that a strong voice of India as External Affairs Minister Jaishankar will resonate on this global stage.
