The Hungarian diplomat, who assumed his role as President of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2022, arrived in India on Sunday on a three-day visit at the invitation of Jaishankar. Korosi praised India’s demands for peace in Ukraine and around the world.
“We are approaching the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine that caused suffering and displacement. A war that has unleashed an energy and food crisis across the globe. I commend India for your calls for peace in Ukraine and across the world,” he said while delivering the 40th Sapru House Lecture.
Korosi said the world was standing at the edge of the precipice and he thanked India for its continued and active engagement in the process.
The UN, he said, has been able to count on India on various issues, including fighting polio. He said that India was one of the significant contributors to troops in peacekeeping.
He called India’s leadership in the field of digital infrastructure from building innovative governance to citizen-oriented services as “transformational” in action.
