In the first summit of its kind in more than 10 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a power-packed special summit on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in US to push for a permanent seat for India on the global body's Security Council, reports NDTV.
The PM left this morning for Ireland from where he will head to US for a six-day trip that ends on September 29.
On Saturday morning, just before he leaves for the West Coast, PM Modi will host German Chancellor Angela Merkel, often described as the most powerful woman on the planet, Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York at a summit of what is known as the G-4 group.
All four countries back each other's bid for permanent seats at the UN Security Council.
