In its manifesto, the BJP stated, "We are committed to seeking permanent membership in the UN Security Council to elevate Bharat's position in global decision making."
"Today, when we are transforming our country, shouldn't there be reform in the Global Governance Institutions as well? We have to promote the concerns of the developing world and the participation of the Global South in global decision-making," PM Modi said.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said that the decision-making at multilateral organizations like the United Nations doesn't reflect the realities of present-day politics, economics, or aspirations of the people at the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting (G20FMM) held here.
The G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting commenced with a minute's silence observed for those who lost their lives in the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
