New Delhi, Aug 01: Narendra Modi is all set to become the first Indian prime minister to preside over a meeting during New Delhi’s presidency of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). PM Modi is expected to take place on August 9.
“A first in the making… With India as President of @UN Security Council in August, an Indian Prime Minister may perhaps preside, albeit virtually, a Council meeting for 1st time on 9 August 2021,” tweeted India’s former envoy to the UN Syed Akbaruddin said on Sunday.
