AP Debrief: Highlights from the day’s United Nations General Assembly

Nearly 90 heads of state and 43 heads of government are among the dignitaries appearing on the U.N. stage during the week-long summit.

The high-level event, noted by some U.N. watchers as the World Cup of diplomacy, is jam-packed with official and unofficial gatherings between heads of state and government, where complex trade deals, sensitive peace negotiations, and even normalization efforts between allies and adversaries alike could see breakthroughs.

Officials state that more than 1,600 bilateral meetings are to take place inside the sprawling U.N. campus that oversees the East River.
