Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not address the UN General Assembly's high-level General Debate later this month, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar scheduled to speak for India on September 27. The 80th UNGA session, opening September 9, will focus on global conflicts and mark the UN's 80th anniversary.
An earlier list released in July had slated PM Modi to speak on September 26, a day when the heads of government of Israel, China, Pakistan and Bangladesh are scheduled to address the Assembly. The change means PM Modi will not share the UNGA stage this year with leaders he has frequently encountered on international platforms.
