Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Friday evening. His Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan will also address the UNGA, according to a provisional list released by the UN of the world leaders scheduled to speak at the 74th session of the United Nations.
In his addresses, Modi didn't mention Kashmir during the time allotted to speak at the global forum as revocation of Article 370 was an entirely "internal issue".
Imran Khan, on the other hand, may primarily focus on Kashmir.
