New York, NY – In a significant move towards bolstering India's parliamentary diplomacy, P. P. Chaudhary, Chairperson of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on One Nation, One Election, is set to lead India's non-official Parliamentary Delegation to the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York this October. This marks a revival of India's engagement at the global forum through parliamentary representation.
P. P. Chaudhary, a Member of Parliament representing the Pali constituency in Rajasthan, brings a wealth of experience to the delegation. A senior advocate and seasoned politician from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Chaudhary has previously served as the Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, Law and Justice, and Electronics and Information Technology. His current role as Chairperson of the JPC on One Nation, One Election highlights his commitment to crucial legislative matters. He has also served as Chairperson of the Committee on External Affairs.
The delegation's participation in the 80th UNGA underscores India's dedication to engaging with the international community on a wide array of global issues. As a non-official delegation, the Members of Parliament will have the opportunity to participate in UN sessions, interact with representatives from other nations, and represent India's democratic values on a global stage. This presents a valuable platform for exchanging ideas, fostering collaboration, and promoting India's perspective on key international concerns.
Chaudhary's leadership is expected to guide the delegation in effectively articulating India's position on various issues under discussion at the UNGA. Given his extensive background in law, justice, and corporate affairs, he is well-equipped to contribute to discussions on matters ranging from international law and human rights to economic development and global governance.
The 80th UNGA is expected to address a diverse range of pressing global challenges, including climate change, sustainable development, global health, and international security. India's active participation in these discussions is crucial for shaping international policies and promoting solutions that reflect the interests and priorities of the developing world.
The Parliamentary Delegation's presence at the UNGA also provides an opportunity to strengthen bilateral relations with other countries. Through informal interactions and structured meetings, the Indian MPs can engage with their counterparts from around the world, fostering mutual understanding and building bridges of cooperation.
This initiative reflects a broader effort to enhance India's parliamentary diplomacy and ensure that the voices of Indian parliamentarians are heard in international forums. By actively engaging with global institutions like the United Nations, India aims to play a more prominent role in shaping the global agenda and contributing to a more just and equitable world order.
