Although this is a virtual meeting, it’s still a first meeting of the sort for us. So, it is historic. Last time an Indian PM was engaged in this effort was the then PM PV Narasimha Rao in 1992 when he attended a UNSC meeting: India’s former envoy to UN, Syed Akbaruddin
India wants to showcase that its leadership is invested in UNSC, & prove its leadership to the world. I welcome this effort and the leadership leading from the front: Syed Akbaruddin, Dean, Kautilya School of Public Policy and former envoy of India to United Nations
