UNGA LIVE | Day 5 of 2025 United Nations General Assembly | S Jaishankar UNGA 2025 Address LIVE
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is set to address the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Saturday (local time), stepping in as India’s primary speaker at the high-level General Debate.
Jaishankar’s address, scheduled for 27 September in the morning session of the high-level debate, comes as UNGA80, under the theme “Better Together: 80 Years and More for Peace, Development and Human Rights”, marks the organisation’s 80th anniversary amid a world grappling with conflicts, climate crises, and economic volatility.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is also scheduled to deliver his address during the same session ahead of Jaishankar. Since his arrival in New York, the EAM has been holding several multilateral and bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the UNGA.
The EAM first met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday (local time) and reaffirmed their commitment to deepening India-US ties and advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific region through the Quad. Rubio also expressed his gratitude to India for its ongoing involvement in various matters, including trade, energy, and critical minerals.
The EAM also met US Ambassador to India-designate Sergio Gor on the sidelines of the UNGA, where both leaders expressed their commitment to further promoting the success of the bilateral relationship between India and the United States.
Jaishankar also participated in a special informal meeting of European Union Foreign Ministers, hosted by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas, which included ministers from Brazil and Mexico and focused on critical global issues, including multilateralism, the India-EU partnership, the Ukraine conflict, the Gaza situation, energy, and trade.
He also hosted a High-Level Meeting of Like-Minded Global South Countries, focusing on enhancing collaboration, solidarity, and multilateral engagement among developing nations.
Jaishankar later hosted the second edition of the L69 and C10 Joint Ministerial in New York, highlighting the collective resolve of the Global South to push for reforms at the United Nations Security Council.
Following this, Jaishankar hosted the Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (FMM) of the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC), highlighting the progress of a 12-point action plan outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the FIPIC-III Summit.
