PM Modi to Skip UNGA, Jaishankar to Represent IndiaSaralnama

S Jaishankar will travel to New York for the 80th UN General Assembly session this month. PM Modi's participation has been cancelled. India had sought a speaking slot for Modi at UNGA. The foreign ministry hasn't confirmed who will lead India's delegation. Modi's schedule doesn't include UNGA, and his plans are unlikely to change unless there's a breakthrough in India-US trade talks. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had mentioned discussing an in-person meeting with Modi during UNGA. US President Trump will address the session, likely focusing on his 'America First' trade agenda.
