Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris. An hour ago, he met UNESCO director-general Irina Georgieva Bokova. During the talks, Bokova told the PM that his priorities resonate with UNESCO's goals.

Modi will now address the diplomatic community, private sector representatives, UNESCO staff, and leading personalities, including UNESCO's Paris-based goodwill ambassadors.

Among the attendees is Bollywood actor Mallika Sherawat who tweeted a picture of her invite yesterday and today, on the way to the Unesco meet.

As soon as he reached at the UNESCO headquarters, Modi offered flowers to the statue of Sri Aurobindo, the Indian philosopher who took part in India's independence movement.

Slogans of "Vande Mataram" and "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" raised inside UNESCO.
