Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> is likely to address the annual high-level session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, according to a provisional list of speakers issued by the United Nations.<\/p>\n

The 80th session of the UNGA will open on September 9. The high-level General Debate will run from September 23-29, with Brazil as the traditional first speaker of the session, followed by the U.S.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a> will address world leaders from the iconic UNGA podium on September 23, his first address to the United Nations session in his second term in the White House.<\/p>\n

According to the provisional list of speakers for the high-level debate of the 80th session of the General Assembly, India\u2019s \u201cHead of Government (HG)\u201d will address the session on the morning of September 26.<\/p>\n

The Heads of Government of Israel, China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are also scheduled to address the UNGA general debate on the same day.<\/p>\n

PM Modi had travelled to the U.S. in February this year for a bilateral meeting with Mr. Trump in the White House in Washington, D.C. In a joint statement issued after their meeting, PM Modi and Mr. Trump had announced plans to negotiate the first tranche of a mutually beneficial, multi-sector Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) by the fall of 2025.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even as trade negotiations were ongoing, Mr. Trump imposed tariffs totalling 50% on India<\/a>, including 25% for New Delhi\u2019s purchases of Russian oil that will come into effect from August 27.<\/p>\n

Responding to the tariffs, India\u2019s Ministry of External Affairs has said that the targeting of the country is unjustified and unreasonable.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s announcement of Mr. Trump\u2019s executive order imposing the additional 25% tariff came at a time when a team from the U.S. is scheduled to visit India from August 25 for the sixth round of negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement.<\/p>\n

The two countries are aiming to conclude the first phase of the pact by fall (October-November) this year.<\/p>\n

The UNGA list of speakers for the General Debate is provisional, and there is a possibility of changes in schedules and speakers over the next few weeks. The list will continue to be updated accordingly.<\/p>\n

Considered the \u201cbusiest diplomatic season\u201d of the year at the United Nations Headquarters, the high-level session opens in September annually.<\/p>\n

The session this year comes amid the continued Israel-Hamas war as well as the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has said that in the six months of his second presidential term, he has solved several wars, including a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for stopping the May conflict between India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n
