Global Leaders Support India's Bid for Permanent UNSC Seat

UK PM Keir Starmer joins Biden, Macron in advocating for India’s inclusion in a reformed Security Council.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer endorsed India's bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) during the UN General Assembly's seventy-ninth session.
French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Joe Biden have also recently voiced their support for India's permanent membership.
Macron emphasized the need for the UNSC to become more representative by including Germany, Japan, Brazil, and two African nations as permanent members.
India has long argued that the current UNSC structure, established in 1945, is outdated and does not reflect contemporary geopolitical realities.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the UNSC risks losing credibility unless its composition and working methods are reformed.
