NEW DELHI: Making a forceful push for United Nations Security Council
reforms, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Tuesday that
global governance structures that exclude Africa and India and their 2.5
billion people cannot have legitimacy and collective peace and security
will continue to elude the world.
Inaugurating the ministerial session on the second day of the third India Africa Forum summit, Swaraj said that even as the United Nations celebrated 70 years of its establishment, “our nations continue to be excluded from appropriate representation in the institutions of global governance”. She asserted that India and Africa can no longer be excluded from permanent membership of the UN Security Council.
