Modi will be on a two-day visit-- November 1 and November 2 -- in Glasgow, where he will meet UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and discuss bilateral ties.
The 26th Conference of parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) kicked off on Sunday in Scotland's Glasgow and will conclude on November 12.
"Landed in Glasgow. Will be joining the @COP26 Summit, where I look forward to working with other world leaders on mitigating climate change and articulating India’s efforts in this regard," said PM Modi in a tweet.

US biotech firm Moderna said Sunday that American officials have delayed approving its COVID-19 vaccine for teenagers to allow more time to better assess the potential risk of developing myocarditis, or heart inflammation.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday "informed Moderna that the agency requires additional time to evaluate recent international analyses of the risk of myocarditis after vaccination," the biotech company said Sunday in a statement.
The evaluation on whether to recommend Moderna's vaccine for 12- to 17-year-olds could last until January 2022, the company said.
Odisha CM Writes To PM Modi Seeking Rs 1,088 Cr Under MGNREGS
Bhubaneswar, Nov 1 (IANS): Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday drawing his attention for timely release of Rs 1,088.72 crore fund pending under the MGNREGS for the state.
In his letter, Patnaik said Rs 377.91 crore as wage component and Rs 710.81 crore as material component is pending under MGNREGS for Odisha.
"Timely payment of wages to the poor jobseekers is the fundamental guarantee under the MGNREG Act. Similarly, timely release of payment for material is critical for creation of tangible and durable assets under MGNREGS," he said.
The Chief Minister urged Modi to advise the ministry of rural development for timely release of funds for wage and material payment under MGNREGS.
He also drew the attention of the Prime Minister that a significant number of returnee migrants has stayed back due to reduced level of economic activities during the Covid pandemic. This has led to demand for wage employment under MGNREGS in villages.
Therefore, Patnaik requested PM Modi to enhance the labour budget of Odisha under MGNREGS to 25 crore person days for the current financial year, 2021-22.
