UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will visit India from April 25 to April 29. He will arrive in Delhi, where he will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other government leaders to discuss the geopolitical situation, troubled zones and other development issues. Then he will be in Mumbai, to meet Maharashtra’s chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and key business leaders.
This is the third visit by Ban Ki-moon since he took over as the head of the United Nations in 2007. India is currently a non-permanent member of the Security Council and is striving to reform the Security Council in order to be included in the permanent membership category.
