NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi skipped any reference to Pakistan in his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Friday.
Speaking at the UNGA, PM Modi stressed that the only message from the world’s largest democracy to the general assembly was one of “harmony and peace”.
PM Modi’s speech covered diverse issues including climate change, sustainable development goals and assistance for small islands in sharp contrast to the one that his Pakistan counterpart Imran Khan has promised to deliver that will focus on Kashmir “like never before”.
This is the first time that Pakistan has not been mentioned in an Indian address — by the prime minister or the external affairs minister — in the General Assembly address in eight years.
