PM speaks at UNGA, likely to miss Imran's speech

September 27, 2019 19:40

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the 74th session of the UN General Assembly on Friday in New York, a short while before his Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan.

The speech comes amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue, but PM Modi is unlikely to mention Pakistan in his speech and will resolutely focus on issues such as development, security, counter terrorism and climate change.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will address the UN General Assembly after Modi. Khan has said that he will "forcefully present the Kashmir issue like never before" in his address at the UNGA session. Pakistan has been trying to internationalise the Kashmir issue after India withdrew the special status of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, but New Delhi has asserted the abrogation of Article 370 was its "internal matter".
