Korosi is then scheduled to visit Japan in mid-February, where the president of the UN General Assembly will participate in a meeting on water resilience, among other goals.

In late February, the president will visit Geneva to address the Human Rights Council before traveling to Azerbaijan for a meeting related to the Non-Aligned Movement.

An official statement said all visits were at the invitation of governments.

During his visit to New York in December 2022, EAM Jaishankar unveiled a bust of Mahatma Gandhi at the United Nations Headquarters building. The bust, a gift from India to the United Nations, is the first Gandhi sculpture to be installed at the UN Headquarters.

Korosi, President of the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly, and Ambassador Ruchila Kamboy, Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, also attended the unveiling ceremony of the statue of Gandhi. During the event, Mahatma Gandhi’s favorite Bhajan “Vaishnav Jan” was also recited. (Arnie)
