On the final day of his three-day trip to the U.S., PM Modi will be addressing the United Nations (UN) Summit of the Future at the UN’s office in New York.
The two-day summit started on Sunday (September 22, 2024), two days before the high-level meeting of world leaders begins at the sprawling U.N. compound in New York City.

He asked world leaders to make a new commitment to multilateralism, which is the foundation of the UN and many other global bodies, and start fixing the ageing global architecture to meet the rapidly changing world.
