Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the high-level meeting to mark 75th anniversary of the United Nations next week. The annual session of the UN General Assembly will begin on September 21 with a high-level meeting to commemorate the occasion. PM Modi will deliver the national statement on September 26 through a pre-recorded video statement. According to India’s envoy to the UN Ambassador T S Tirumurti, the PM’s speech will be "truly significant" as it comes ahead of India taking a seat at the powerful UN Security Council as an elected non-permanent member for a two-year term beginning January 1, 2021.
