New Delhi’s push for UN reforms suffers setback

India’s

push to achieve urgent reforms of the UN Security Council this year and secure a permanent seat has suffered a setback when the General Assembly decided to roll over discussions on reforming the world body’s top organ to its next session.

India along with the G4 groups of Brazil, Germany, and Japan said it is “unfortunate” that momentum could not build up over the issue in the current session.

Brazil’s envoy to the UN Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, spoke on behalf of the G4 groups. (PTI)
