Russia's support for India UNSC bid: Russia has reiterated its support for India to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, 'We believe that India, Brazil and African countries should get permanent representation in the UNSC. A large population of the world lives in these countries, whose representation needs to be ensured.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a media interview that India, Brazil and African countries should get permanent representation in the Security Council. Over the past few years, India has been at the forefront of efforts to increase the number of permanent and non-permanent members of the UNSC.
Russia has already supported India
Earlier on September 29, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had expressed support for India's bid for a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council. He mentioned India's support in his address to the 79th United Nations General Assembly. During this, he emphasized, 'There is a need to increase representation in the UNSC for a fair world order.'
What does India have to say?
India says, 'The Security Council of 15 countries, established in 1945, is not fit for the purposes of the 21st century. It does not reflect contemporary geopolitical realities. India believes that the world's largest democracy also has the right to become a permanent member of the Security Council.
These countries supported India's claim
Last month, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron supported India's bid for permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). India last became a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council in 2021-22.
