According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Prime Minister is scheduled to speak at the General Assembly on Friday during the high-level segment of its 79th session, which begins tomorrow. This session provides a platform for world leaders to deliberate on pressing international issues and collaborate on solutions for global peace, security, and prosperity.
