US elections 2020: If elected, Biden would help India get a seat on UNSC, says former Indian-American diplomat

India Today  

In a strong pitch to the highly influential community of Indian-Americans to vote for Democratic presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden, former Indian-American diplomat Richard Verma said that if elected, he could help India get a permanent seat on the United National Security Council. "There's no question that under his leadership, he would help shape international institutions like the UN to give India a seat on the Security Council, he would fulfil its status as a major defence partner," former US Ambassador to India Richard Verma said on Saturday. Verma, Biden Unity Task Force Economic Policy advisor Sonal Shah, former US surgeon general Vivek Murthy and Centre for American Progress Action Fund CEO Neera Tanden in their address to a virtual event argued that over the past several decades, Biden has a proven track record of being the best friend of Indians and Indian-Americans, be it as a Senator from Delaware or as a vice president under the Obama administration. "I can confidently say, there would have been no US India Civil Nuclear Deal but for Joe Biden," Verma said.
