PM Modi addressed UN first time since India's election to UNSC- Namaste English

Addressing the UN ECOSOC session, the prime minister said the 75th anniversary of the UN is an opportunity to assess the world body's role and relevance in today's world. India was overwhelmingly elected as non-permanent member of the powerful Security Council last month. We are playing a salient role in achieving Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our domestic efforts, PM Narendra Modi said.

संयुक्त राष्ट्र ECOSOC सत्र को संबोधित करते हुए, प्रधान मंत्री ने कहा कि संयुक्त राष्ट्र की 75 वीं वर्षगांठ विश्व संस्था की भूमिका और आज की दुनिया में प्रासंगिकता का आकलन करने का एक अवसर है। भारत को पिछले महीने ज़बर्दस्त ढंग से सुरक्षा परिषद के गैर-स्थायी सदस्य के रूप में चुना गया था। पीएम नरेंद्र मोदी ने कहा कि हम अपने घरेलू प्रयासों के जरिए एजेंडा 2030 और Sustainable Development Goals (एसडीजी) को हासिल करने में एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभा रहे हैं।
