Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, his first appearance on the premier global arena after a resounding victory in national elections earlier this year and the third since taking office in 2014. PM Modi, the fourth speaker on the fourth day of the general debate, is expected to take the stage in the iconic hall at the UN headquarters in New York around 7:30 pm Indian time.

PM Modi is expected to speak about his government's achievements, the climate crisis and take on Pakistan for sponsoring cross-border terrorism.

Ahead of his speech, PM Modi's office tweeted: "All set for the @UN General Assembly session! The speech of PM @narendramodi begins shortly. Do watch it LIVE."

The PM held a number of bilateral meetings with top world leaders like US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel ahead of his UN address. Earlier this week, he hit out at Pakistan in his speech at a public event in Houston, Texas organised by the Indian community.
