The 67th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will take place from 18 September to 5 October. The Indian delegation will be led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and he will be accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister, S. M. Krishna.
The high-level meeting on the ‘Rule of Law’ will be held on 24 September, and the general debate will begin on the following day.
Like last year, one of India’s primary concerns during this meeting, is the reform of the United Nations Security Council.
One of the highlights of the meeting will be the bid by Palestine, which currently holds an ‘observer entity’ status, to obtain a non-member status at the United Nations. India, which enjoys good bilateral relations with Palestine, will support this proposition.
On the sidelines of the UNGA, the joint statement of the recently concluded first India-CELAC Troika Foreign Ministers’ meet will be presented during the CELAC Foreign Ministers’s meeting.
