"The prime minister has cancelled his plan as it is not mandatory for the head of the government to attend UNGA," he said. The prime minister was originally scheduled to leave for New York to address UNGA on September 30.
Sources close to the prime minister said the visit was cancelled as there were no new agendas to be discussed in UNGA this time around.
