Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to address the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session today, 25 September. He has already reached New York to attend the session which had gone virtual last year due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

Before leaving for the United Nations, Modi said that this visit would be an occasion to make the Indo-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership stronger and consolidate ties with Australia and Japan.

After attending his first in-person Quad Summit and holding his first bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden in the White House on Friday, 24 September, Modi left for New York from Washington. The Prime Minister's Office in a tweet said, "After a series of meetings in Washington DC, PM @narendramodi emplanes for New York City. He will be addressing the UNGA session there".

Talking about addressing the UNGA session, in a statement, Modi shared that his speech will focus on the “pressing global challenges” including the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, the need to combat terrorism, among other important issues.
