PM Modi to chair important UNSC meet on maritime security
Recommended for Secondary Grades
India is currently a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
What is the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)?
The UNSC is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations (UN). It is responsible for ensuring international peace and security among the countries of the world.
Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi will chair a meeting of the UNSC today at 5:30 pm IST via video conferencing. The meeting is on ‘Enhancing Maritime Security A Case for International Cooperation‘.
The aim of the meeting is to focus on ways to effectively counter maritime crime and insecurity and strengthened coordination. ‘Maritime‘ means anything connected with the sea or ships.
Moreover, this is the first time that an Indian Prime Minister would be presiding over a meeting of the UNSC.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken are expected to attend the meeting.
All the events and speeches of council members will be broadcast live. Non-Council members can submit their statements in writing.
Other meetings
This meeting on maritime security is the first of three signature events India is holding as UNSC chair. The other two are on UN peacekeeping and counter-terrorism.
