Modi will speak at the UN General Assembly on September 23 at the Summit of the Future, with an emphasis on global cooperation, climate change, and sustainable development. His address would probably highlight India's position on international disputes as well as its strategy for closing development disparities.

At the Summit of Future at United Nations, PM Modi will address world leaders and is likely to highlight the concerns of the countries from Global South since India held a summit for Global South in August. He may also speak on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Before his UN talk, Modi will visit an Indian community gathering on Long Island on September 22, where he will interact with the Indian diaspora and strengthen the two countries' burgeoning connections.
