His speech will take place during the afternoon session, which runs from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time (12:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. IST). The session will be presided over by Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman, with the theme 'Restoring trust, managing transformation: A United Nations that delivers for all.' Modi's address will be part of a week-long event featuring global leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden and Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Impact & Risks

PM Modi's address at the UNGA provides an opportunity to highlight India's stance on global issues, including climate change, sustainable development, and international security. It also allows India to strengthen its diplomatic ties and assert its role on the global stage. However, the absence of key leaders like China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin may shift the focus of discussions, potentially impacting the outcomes of the session.
