Story summary

In his address to the UN General Assembly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov backed India’s candidature for a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). He argued that any reform should not allocate additional seats to Western countries, particularly Germany and Japan, which he claims are moving towards militarism and revanchism. Instead, Lavrov emphasized broadening representation from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, specifically supporting Brazil's and India's bids for permanent membership while also highlighting the interests of the African continent. Russia’s stance is part of its broader foreign policy initiatives that include working with allies like BRICS, the SCO, and the Eurasian Economic Union to promote a unifying global agenda.
