According to an advisory from the Office of the Prime Minister, Nsengiyumva will use the address to outline Rwanda's perspectives and priorities on key global and regional issues.
The 81st session officially opened on September 8, with the high-level General Debate taking place from September 22 to 28 at the UN Headquarters in New York. The debate brings together heads of state, heads of government and other high-level representatives from UN member states.
The session is being held under the theme 'Restoring trust, managing transformation: A United Nations that delivers for all.' Bangladesh's Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman is presiding over the session as president of the General Assembly.
The agenda includes discussions on multilateral cooperation, peace and security, sustainable development, climate action, public health and human rights.
Several high-level meetings are also scheduled during the session. These include a meeting on the 40th anniversary of the Declaration on the Right to Development and a high-level event on climate action and the just transition on September 23, a meeting on the threats posed by sea-level rise on September 24, and a summit on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response on September 25.
The UN says the General Debate provides an opportunity for world leaders and other senior representatives to present their countries' positions and priorities on major international challenges.
Beyond his national statement, Nsengiyumva is scheduled to participate in high-level meetings, side events and bilateral engagements with various partners during his time in New York.
The engagements are expected to provide opportunities for Rwanda to exchange views with other countries and international partners on issues of mutual interest, while strengthening bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
The UN General Assembly comprises all 193 UN member states, with each country having an equal vote in the body.
