Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's address to the UN General Assembly will articulate India's priorities on key areas of terrorism, Security Council reform, inclusive growth and poverty eradication.
Singh will attend the UNGA after a gap of two years. He was last here in 2008.
Briefing a group of Indian journalists here ahead of Singh's visit, India's Permanent Representative to the UN Hardeep Singh Puri said, “We are very pleased that the Prime Minister has chosen to lead the delegation. It is important that our national priorities are articulated at the level of the Prime Minister as that has a much better resonance."
Singh would arrive here on September 22 and will address the 193-member UN General Assembly on the 24th.
"India's priorities will be developmental concerns, eradication of poverty, Millenium Development Goals, inclusive growth and terrorism," Puri said.
