Prime Ministers Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Li Qiang of China, and Keir Starmer of Britain will take the stage before Prime Minister Modi in the morning session on September 26 that begins at 9 a.m. (6:30 p.m. in India).
Later that session, Prime Ministers Tshering Tobgay of Bhutan, K.P. Sharma Oli of Nepal, and Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan are scheduled to attend.
The final speaker of the morning session is listed as Bangladesh’s “prime minister,” most likely Muhammad Yunus, who positions himself as the Chief Advisor to the interim administration established following the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, the democratically elected prime minister.
This year, PM Modi will be giving his sixth speech to the high-level session of the General Assembly.
