ISTANBUL, Sept 17 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will lead his country’s delegation to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi said on Wednesday
The General Debate is scheduled to open on Sept 23 and will conclude on Sept 29.
Tykhyi said the holding of the Crimea Platform’s fifth summit is among the new elements of this year’s UNGA meeting, describing it as “very symbolic”, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported according to the RBC-Ukraine news agency,

He added that bilateral talks and a series of events are planned during the visit.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha also confirmed that the forthcoming summit of the Crimea Platform will take place in New York on Sept 24.
