PM Modi to deliver virtual keynote address at United Nations Economic and Social Council
Jul-17-2020

Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi will deliver a keynote address virtually at this year’s High-Level Segment of the United Nations Economic and Social Council session this evening at the United Nations in New York. The Prime Minister will be speaking at the valedictory session along with the Prime Minister of Norway Erna Solberg and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

The annual High-level Segment convenes a diverse group of high-level representatives from the Government, the private sector, civil society and academia. The theme of this year’s High-level Segment is Multilateralism after COVID19: What kind of UN do we need at the 75th anniversary. This session will focus on critical forces shaping the course of multilateralism and explore ways to bolster the global agenda through strong leadership, effective international institutions, a broadening of participation and enhanced significance of global public goods.

This will be the first opportunity for Modi to address the broader UN membership since India’s overwhelming election as a non-permanent member of the Security Council on 17th June, for the term 2021-22.
