The system is changing in the world... S Jaishankar again staked claim for a permanent seat for India in UNSC
New Delhi/Kazan: India has once again reiterated its demand for a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council i.e. UNSC. On Thursday, the last day of the 16th BRICS Summit 2024 being held in Kazan city of Russia, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that there is a need to reform the established institutions to create a just global order. He said that these reforms should be done immediately. During this, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message of 'no war'. PM Modi had said in his speech that this is not the time to fight a war. This is not the era of war. Disputes should be resolved through mutual dialogue and peacefully.
Jaishankar said these things in the outreach session of BRICS. He said, "BRICS shows how deeply the old system is changing. Along with this, many inequalities of the past are still continuing, rather they have adopted new ways. The benefits of globalization have been very unequal. In such a situation, there is a danger of the world lagging far behind in achieving the goals of sustainable development."
There are currently 10 temporary members in the UNSC
India has been demanding reforms in the Security Council for a long time. It emphasizes the need to increase the number of permanent and temporary members. The Security Council, formed in 1945, has had 15 members since its inception. Of these, 5 are permanent and 10 are temporary members. China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States are permanent members of the UNSC. Temporary members are changed every 2 years.

America, Russia, France and Britain have already supported India's claim for permanent membership in the Security Council. But China has been obstructing it through its veto power.
The world urgently needs more connectivity options
The Foreign Minister said, "The world urgently needs more connectivity options by fixing the flaws in the global infrastructure that have been inherited from the colonial era. So that logistics can be enhanced and risks can be reduced. With utmost respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty, this should be a collective effort for the common good. India's digital public infrastructure, its Unified Payment Interface, Gatishakti infrastructure all have great relevance."
Jaishankar said, "The International Solar Alliance, Global Bio Fuel Alliance, Mission LiFE and International Big Cat Alliance are initiatives of common interest. We want to make a proper contribution to this."
