Washington: Russia has expressed its support for the permanent membership of India and Brazil in the United Nations Security Council.
UN The 77th annual meeting of the General Assembly was held the day before yesterday. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said:
The United Nations General Assembly and Security Council should reflect contemporary realities. UN Russia’s position is that by ensuring the representation of African, Asian and Latin American countries in the Security Council, it can further democratize the Council.
India and Brazil are the most important countries internationally. They are fully qualified to sit on the Security Council. Therefore, Russia expresses its full support for the inclusion of India and Brazil as permanent members of the Security Council.
Apart from that, it is noteworthy that India and Brazil have been trying to join the Security Council for a long time.
At the same time, Security Council expansion is unlikely without reflecting the interests of Africans. Therefore, Africa’s representation in this Council must also be increased.
Bringing more Western countries to the Security Council will certainly not do any good. Because they are all following US orders.
Next year, Japan will be admitted as a non-permanent member of the 15-nation Security Council. Accordingly, the representation of the western group is going to increase to 7. For Japan, there is no difference between its policy and that of the United States. This is what he said.
