ISA meeting

 
On Wednesday, the UN Secretary-General will attend the first assembly of the International Solar Alliance, as well as a conference of Energy Ministers of the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) countries.
 
Mr. Guterres’s visit was timed with the beginning of the year-long celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary in 2019. October 2 was declared the International Day of Non-Violence by the United Nations in 2007. Paying his respects at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial at Raj Ghat, he wrote that Gandhiji was the “greatest soul that has ever lived” and “our guide in our troubled world”.
 
He attended the Mahatma Gandhi International Sanitation Convention along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and held a bilateral discussion on the sidelines of the event held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. In a tweet, Mr. Modi said the two leaders had discussed “a wide range of issues pertaining to global peace and prosperity”.
