UNITED NATIONS -- The situation in Afghanistan, the coronavirus vaccine and climate change are expected to dominate discussions at the U.N. General Assembly starting Tuesday, with dozens of global leaders meeting face to face for the first time in two years.
Despite U.S. requests that countries send prerecorded messages instead to curb the spread of the coronavirus, 83 heads of state, 43 prime ministers, three deputy prime ministers and 23 foreign ministers were scheduled to address the General Assembly in person as of Friday.
