What Happened?
The United Nations General Assembly President, Mr Philemon Yang, will visit India from February 4 to 8, 2025. He is visiting following the request made by the Indian government.
Why it Matters to India:
President Yang will be visiting Delhi and Bangalore, and his itinerary includes a call with the President of India, Draupadi Murmu, and discussions with the External Affairs Minister, Dr S. Jaishankar. One of the main objectives of Yang’s visit is to strengthen multilateral cooperation with India on global issues, including international peace and security. He is also set to visit a health facility, the Infosys Campus and the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru. Every year, the UN General Assembly President visits India to strengthen ties. Last year, H.E. Dennis Francis was on his maiden visit to India.
