Korosi also said that the strategies taken by India are largely similar to that of the UN body as they are focused on the need for transformation globally. 

Korosi said, "I see similarities, large similarities between the Indian strategic thinking of how this world should look like, what kind of transformation this world needs and the thinking in the General Assembly (of) how we transform ourselves, how we transform this organisation and how we transform some of the dealings we have in the world."

Korosi will meet India's External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. They are expected to discuss multilateral and regional issues of mutual interest. The talks might also include India's engagement with the UN body as well as sustainable water use. 

Korosi said India is among the largest economies in the world and is about to become the most populous nation on the planet. "India has a good feeling that this world is changing very rapidly. India is experiencing many of the crises we are facing, in different forms, in an interlinking manner, all across the world," he said. 

"India is looking for her own solutions and, in many instances, not only for herself, but for many other countries," he added.
