India has officially launched its campaign for a United Nations Security Council seat for the 2028-29 term. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar led the initiative, presenting India's vision for the role during the campaign announcement.
At the launch, Jaishankar highlighted India's contributions to global peacekeeping and development partnerships as key pillars of its candidacy. The country presented a framework called SHANTI vision, which centers on global governance and cooperation among nations. This vision appears designed to shape how India would approach Security Council responsibilities and international engagement.
The campaign positions India's existing international commitments and development work as foundational to its bid for the permanent or non-permanent council seat. The timing of the early campaign launch, nearly four years before the 2028-29 term, allows India to build diplomatic support among UN member states ahead of the election process.
