Prime Minister Narendra Modi today went on a tour of key venues of the United Nations at its headquarters here including the Security Council chamber before delivering his maiden speech. In the 15-minute tour, 64-year-old Modi visited the Trusteeship Council, one of the principal organs of the United Nations, and the venue of the Surya statue gifted in 1982 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. She had gifted the 11th century statue to the United Nations during her visit there.
The complex has served as the official headquarters of the United Nations since its completion in 1952. It is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, on spacious grounds overlooking the East River. The UN Headquarters complex was constructed in stages with the core complex completed between 1948 and 1952. The Headquarters occupies a site beside the East River on 17 acres of land. After taking a round of the complex, Modi met UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during which both the leaders discussed a number of issues including ways to combat terrorism and deal with other challenges.
