PM Modi arrives in New York
"The Prime Minister has stepped out of the aircraft," the PMO India tweeted.
"The Indian Ambassador to USA and other officials welcome the Prime Minister at the airport," it said.
Hours before embarking on six-day US trip, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation prior to his departure, where he said that he will pitch for reforms in the United Nations when he addresses there.
In his address, PM said, “I am visiting the United States from 26 to 30 September 2014. I will attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York and, thereafter, visit Washington DC on 29-30 September 2014 for a bilateral summit with U.S. President Barack Obama.”
About his address in UNGA, Modi said, “Since its participation as a founding member of the United Nations in 1945, India has shown unwavering commitment to multilateral processes to advance peace and security and promote broad-based inclusive economic development in the world. India`s contribution to UN peacekeeping operations over decades is a strong testimony of our efforts to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the UN charter.”
