Russia backs India’s candidature for UNSC permanent seat

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has officially expressed Russia's support for India and Brazil to hold permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The statement was made as part of a broader call to increase the representation of nations from Asia, Africa, and Latin America within the council's permanent membership structure.

Lavrov emphasized that any expansion of the UNSC must prioritize the interests of the African continent. This endorsement aligns with long-standing international discussions regarding the reform of the UN's most powerful body to better reflect contemporary global demographics and geopolitical realities.
