UN General Assembly to host 130 leaders in New York
The 81st United Nations General Assembly is set to convene in New York from September 22 to September 28. The high-level segment will host approximately 130 world leaders, including 71 heads of state, 45 heads of government, and 11 vice presidents.
Key themes for this session include the management of global transformations, the climate crisis, and the regulation of artificial intelligence. The UN Security Council is also scheduled to hold a high-level meeting specifically addressing AI.
Major geopolitical tensions are expected to dominate the agenda, particularly conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Congo, and Myanmar. Notable attendees include Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Masoud Pezeshkian. However, some leaders will be absent or participating remotely; Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are not expected to attend in person, and Mahmoud Abbas will join via videoconference following a U.S. visa denial. Over 1,500 bilateral meetings are planned throughout the week.
