Oct 3 \u2013 The 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79) has become a pivotal platform for advancing calls to reform the UN Security Council, with a mounting consensus among world leaders advocating for India\u2019s inclusion as a permanent member.<\/p>\n
A significant endorsement came from leaders representing France, Russia, the United States, Portugal, and the United Kingdom, all of whom have backed India\u2019s candidacy for permanent membership. <\/p>\n
In a compelling video message, Angola\u2019s President Joao Lourenco underscored the urgent necessity for reform, emphasizing that \u201cthe reform of the United Nations Security Council\u2026 seems to be urgent and pressing to give voice to countries in the Global South, including Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chile\u2019s President Gabriel Boric proposed a timeline for this much-needed reform, stating, \u201cWhen the UN celebrates its 80th birthday, we will do so with a Security Council that includes Brazil from Latin America, India, and at least one country from Africa.\u201d UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer echoed this sentiment, firmly advocating for India\u2019s entry into the prestigious group of permanent members.<\/p>\n
French President Emmanuel Macron reinforced his country\u2019s commitment to this expansion, declaring, \u201cFrance is in favour of the Security Council being expanded. Germany, Japan, India, and Brazil should be permanent members.\u201d Russia\u2019s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also voiced support for India\u2019s candidacy, stressing the need for increased representation within the council.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s ascension as a permanent member of the Security Council would reflect its growing influence on the global stage and its significant contributions to international peace and security. As discussions around reform gather momentum, the backing from major world leaders signals a critical shift towards a more inclusive and representative UN Security Council.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
