Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not attend the United Nations General Assembly this month. Instead, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will deliver India’s address on September 27 in New York. An earlier schedule had listed Modi to speak on September 26, but the updated speakers’ list confirms Jaishankar’s role. The UNGA debate runs from September 23 to 29, with U.S. President Donald Trump opening the session. Several Western nations are also expected to recognize Palestine, sparking diplomatic tensions.
