India not getting a permanent UNSC seat 'not good' for the global body: Jaishankar

India TV News  

Jaishankar on UNSC seat: India not sitting as a permanent member of the UN Security Council is "not good for us” only but also not good for the global body and its transformation is “overdue”, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said here on Wednesday. Jaishankar was in a conversation with Columbia University Professor and Former Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog Arvind Panagariya at the Raj Centre at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. The number of independent countries have quadrupled in that period,” Jaishankar said, adding that there are big parts of the world which are left out. “To have such a country not there in the key global councils, obviously, it's not good for us, but I would also urge it's not good for the global Council in question,” Jaishankar said.
