China lobbied for reform of the UNSC(UNSC)

Beijing. Maintaining its stance on reforms in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), China has said that developing countries, especially small and medium countries, should get more representation. At the same time, he refrained from giving a direct response to the appeal of India and other countries that the apex body of the world body should be expanded and they should also be included in it.

Wang Yi, Director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) met with Tarek M A M Albanai and Alexander Marshik, co-chairs of the Inter-Governmental Negotiations (IGN) on UNSC Reforms, in Beijing recently And outlined China’s stand on the restructuring of the world body’s top organ. Along with France, Russia, Britain and the US, China is also a permanent member of the 15-member Security Council with veto power. The Security Council has five permanent members, while the remaining 10 members are elected for two-year terms as non-permanent members and do not have veto power.

India rightful in the top body of the United Nations
India has been at the forefront of efforts to reform the Council over the years, saying that New Delhi rightfully deserves a place as a permanent member of the top UN body. In his talks with the IGN delegates, Wang said that efforts should be made to maintain fairness and justice in the reform of the Security Council, the representation of developing countries should be increased, and small and medium-sized countries should be given the opportunity to participate. .

India’s demand was told right
It is hoped that the co-chairs will guide all parties to resolve the confusion and build a consensus, so that the reform process of the Security Council is widely recognized by the international community and the results stand the test of history. On April 25, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ruchira Kamboj told the UNSC that India’s demand for reform of the top UN body is right when the world’s largest democracy has been left out of global decision-making. .

America, Britain, France and Russia supported India
