MOSCOW: Russia’s top diplomat has said his country believes that India, Brazil and African countries should be represented in the UN Security Council on a permanent basis to ensure the representativeness of the global majority, state-owned TASS news agency reported on Sunday.
“Countries such as India, Brazil, as well as representatives of Africa should have been on a permanent basis in the Security Council. This is necessary to ensure representation of the global majority,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
India has been at the forefront of years-long efforts calling for reform of the UNSC, including expansion in both its permanent and non-permanent categories.
