\nPrime Minister Narendra Modi will deliver a keynote address virtually at this year\u2019s High-Level Segment of the United Nations Economic and Social Council session on Friday, 17th July 2020 from 0930-1130 hrs (local time) at the United Nations in New York. Prime Minister will be speaking at the valedictory session along with the Prime Minister of Norway and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.<\/p>\n
The annual High-level Segment convenes a diverse group of high-level representatives from the Government, the private sector, civil society and academia. The theme of this year\u2019s High-level Segment is “Multilateralism after COVID19: What kind of UN do we need at the 75th anniversary\u201d.<\/p>\n
Set against the changing international environment and the COVID-19 pandemic, this session will focus on critical forces shaping the course of multilateralism and explore ways to bolster the global agenda through strong leadership, effective international institutions, a broadening of participation and enhanced significance of global public goods.<\/p>\n
This will be first opportunity for PM to address the broader UN membership since India\u2019s overwhelming election as a non-permanent member of the Security Council on 17th June, for the term 2021-22. The theme of the High-Level Segment of the ECOSOC, on the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the UN, also resonates with India\u2019s Security Council priority, wherein we have called for \u2018reformed multilateralism\u2019 in a post-COVID-19 world. It also recalls India\u2019s role, as the holder of the inaugural Presidency of ECOSOC (Sir Ramaswami Mudaliar, in 1946). PM had earlier delivered the keynote address virtually at the 70th anniversary of ECOSOC in January 2016.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
