External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar urged countries impacted by the UN Security Council’s failures and slow reform process to unite for change. Chairing a meeting of the L.69 group with participation from Africa’s C-10, he stressed that delaying reforms perpetuates “historical injustice.”
India has strongly opposed proposals for a new ‘third category’ of UN Security Council membership, arguing it would undermine genuine reform and delay expansion of permanent seats. Both the G4 (India, Japan, Germany, Brazil) and the L.69 group of developing nations rejected the idea.
