No final call made on PM's participation in UN General Assembly in September
India is yet to take a final call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's participation in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in late September, and people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday that a decision should be expected closer to the holding of the session in New York. The debate will open on September 23 and conclude on September 29. (Narendra Modi |Official Facebook) The inclusion of the Prime Minister's name in the schedule for heads of state and government expected to address the UN General Assembly and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's remarks about a possible meeting with Modi on the margins of session in New York triggered speculation about a possible visit to the US. The provisional list of speakers for the high-level debate at the upcoming session of the General Assembly states India's head of government is expected to address the session on the morning of September 26. The debate will open on September 23 and conclude on September 29. The US head of state is slated to speak on September 23.

'It has not yet been decided if the PM would be going to the UN General Assembly or not,' a person said, adding that such a visit appeared 'very unlikely' at the current juncture. The provisional list of speakers is prepared by the UN in August, well in advance of the session, with heads of state and government being given slots before foreign ministers or other representatives of a country. It is not rare for a head of state or government to drop out after their name is placed in the provisional list, the people said. After making a phone call to Modi on Monday, Ukrainian President Zelensky had said on social media that the two leaders planned to meet during the UN General Assembly in September. This was one of the factors behind the speciation about a possible visit to the US by the PM, which could have paved the way for a potential meeting with Trump. However, significant differences remain between the two sides on a trade deal, especially after Trump imposed a 25% reciprocal tariff on Indian goods and slapped another penalty of 25% on India for Russian oil purchases. In recent days, Trump has repeatedly criticised India over its tariff policies and for fuelling the 'Russian war machine' by buying Russian crude. Trump's repeated insistence that he brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan to end four days of hostilities too hasn't gone down well at the highest levels in New Delhi.

India And China May Resume Direct Flights In September, Full Details Inside
Last Updated: PM Modi's visit to China could mark a turning point in bilateral ties after years of tension. India and China are preparing to bring back direct flights as early as September. The announcement is expected around the time Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits China at the end of August for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin. Sources say the Indian government has asked airlines to be ready for quick deployment. IndiGo has already started preparations, while an official declaration could come during the summit. Why Did Flights Stop? Direct air services between the two countries came to a halt in early 2020 following the outbreak of Covid-19. Travellers have since been forced to connect via hubs like Hong Kong, Bangkok, or Singapore. As per Hindustan Times, ties soured further after the June 2020 Galwan Valley clashes in eastern Ladakh, which claimed the lives of 20 Indian soldiers and at least four Chinese troops. In response, India banned several Chinese apps, which Beijing called 'discriminatory." . Before the suspension, carriers like Air India, IndiGo, Air China, China Southern, and China Eastern ran over a dozen weekly direct flights connecting major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Kunming with New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. The two sides had already agreed in principle to restart flights in January, along with plans to revive the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and boost exchanges between media and think tanks. PM Modi is set to visit China for the first time in seven years to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin on August 31 and September 1. China has welcomed the visit, calling it an opportunity for greater 'solidarity, coordination, and productiveness". A bilateral meeting between PM Modi and President Xi Jinping is also possible during the trip. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
