UN Chief Guterres' 3 day India visit to begin on Tuesday_我的网站

一 | New Delhi, Oct 17 (UNI) United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres will arrive India on Tuesday on a three day official visit.

This will be UNSG’s first visit to India, since he commenced his second term in office in January 2022. He had earlier visited India (in his first term) from 01- 04 October, 2018.

Informing about the visit, the Ministry of External Affairs said that the UN Secretary General will join Prime Minister Modi at the launch of the Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) booklet, logo and tagline on Thursday at Ekta Nagar, Kevadiya, Gujarat,

It may be recollected that the concept of LiFE was introduced by PM during COP26 at Glasgow in November 2021.

The Prime Minister had then urged the global community of individuals and institutions to drive LiFE as an international mass movement towards 'mindful and deliberate utilisation, instead of mindless and destructive consumption' to protect and preserve the environment.

Mission LiFE will be India’s signature initiative at the United Nations and other international platforms for showcasing climate action and early achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Its central idea reflects India’s ethos of respect for Mother Nature and aims at piloting a focussed program that will mobilise 1 billion Indians to become pro-planet people (3P), who would practice simple environment and climate friendly behaviour/actions in their daily lives to promote a shared commitment to protect our planet.

Upon arrival, Guterres will pay tributes to the victims of the 26/11 terror attacks at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai.

He will also deliver a public address at IIT Mumbai on the subject - India @75: UN-India Partnership: Strengthening South-South Cooperation.

External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar would hold bilateral discussions with the UNSG on issues of global concern, steps to deepen India’s engagement with the UN, including through India’s upcoming Presidency of the G20 and reformed multilateralism.

In Kevadiya, UNSG is expected to pay floral tributes at the Statue of Unity.

He will also be visiting India’s first solar-powered village in Modhera (Gujarat) and other development projects in the area. UNSG will also be visiting the Sun Temple in Modhera, before departing for his onward destination.

UNI ASU SHK2020。 Alejandra Palacios found herself moving from summer heat to winter chill in just a matter of minutes. One moment, she was strolling in almost 30 C warmth in summer clothes; the next, she was bundled in a thick down jacket as the temperature plunged to around minus 10 C. Inside an ice-and-snow pavilion at Harbin Ice-Snow World in northeastern China, the Nicaraguan visitor wiped the fog from her phone lens to reveal an ice-carved castle and cathedral glowing in violet-blue light. Snowflakes drifted down as tourists swooshed down ice slides on rubber tubes. "They've brought winter into summer, and carved the ice into something so magnificent and delicate. It's astonishing," she said. Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province, is known as China's "Ice City" for its freezing winters, ice sculptures and winter sports. After the outdoor section of Harbin Ice-Snow World, the world's largest ice-and-snow theme park, closed this February, its indoor ice-and-snow pavilion took over, offering visitors a cool escape from the summer heat. According to Sun Zemin, deputy marketing director at Harbin Ice-Snow World, the pavilion opened in the summer of 2024. The 23,800-square-meter venue maintains an interior temperature between — 8 C and — 12 C and uses about 20,000 cubic meters of ice. "The pavilion features natural ice harvested from the Songhua River in winter and preserved at low temperatures in sealed storage, as well as colored ice, bubble-free ice and frozen roses made by ice-making factories," Sun added. Those who visit the park can also enjoy indoor ice shows that combine figure skating, acrobatics and live music. Ashley Martinez Aponte, a visitor from the Dominican Republic, lingered long after the performance had ended. "It was such an unforgettable show. I think everyone should come and appreciate this piece of art on ice," she said. The park's operator said that the pavilion's single-day visitor count exceeded 5,000 at its peak this summer. The park draws not only domestic tourists escaping the heat from southern China, but also travelers from Singapore, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea and other countries. Beyond the ice sculptures, shows and rides, off-season winter sports are emerging as a new draw for Harbin's summer tourism — a fresh way of turning its winter chill into a hot season attraction. At a year-round indoor ski resort in Harbin's Songbei district, beginners have been learning turning and braking with coaches this summer, while seasoned skiers race down the slopes, kicking up clouds of snow. Lin Shuyue, a senior student from Xiamen in East China's Fujian province, recently visited Harbin with her classmates on a graduation trip. Though they have access to indoor ski slopes back in the south, they made a point of adding this ski resort to their itinerary. "You can ski indoors in the south too, but it just doesn't feel the same as the 'Ice City'," Lin said, adding that with greater vertical drops, more advanced slopes and the city's immersive ice-and-snow culture, skiing in the height of summer here is a truly unique experience. Spanning around 80,000 sq m, the indoor ski resort features eight slopes of varying gradients, with a maximum vertical drop of 80 m. It's the perfect venue for skiers of all skill levels. Thanks to its year-round temperature control and snow-making systems, ski training and recreation are no longer limited by the weather outside. "We are committed to making winter sports accessible all year round, creating all-season, all-age ice-and-snow experiences," said Song Guangxu, who is in charge of the resort. In addition to daily operations and ski instruction, the facility also helps sustain visitor flows by hosting professional competitions, family-oriented events and public ice-and-snow experience programs. These indoor ice-and-snow projects are weaving themselves into Harbin's broader summer tourism market, fueling a travel boom during the peak season. Travel platform data shows that flight bookings from major cities across the country to the "Ice City" have surged since late June, driven by a combination of graduation trips and family summer getaways, with young travelers making up a significant share of the city's summer visitors. Li Zhuomin, deputy director of the Harbin city bureau of culture, radio, television and tourism, said the city is building a more stable year-round supply of ice-and-snow products through projects such as indoor theme parks, ice-art exhibitions and indoor ski resorts. China's ice-and-snow economy exceeded 1 trillion yuan ($147 billion)in 2025, according to a report released this year by the China Tourism Academy. Indoor ice-and-snow complexes have become one of the most active investment categories in the sector, further breaking down the climatic and seasonal constraints on ice-and-snow consumption. 。
