India emphasized the necessity of reforming the United Nations Security Council during a diplomatic meeting between France and Mexico. The call was made by India's representative participating in the talks.
The France-Mexico meeting provided a platform for discussing global governance issues, and India used the opportunity to stress that the UNSC needs reform to reflect contemporary geopolitical realities. India's delegation pointed out that the current structure does not adequately represent many regions, including Africa, Latin America and Asia.
India reiterated its long-standing position that any reform process should be transparent, inclusive and based on broad consensus among member states. The country emphasized that expanding both permanent and non-permanent categories would enhance the Council's legitimacy and effectiveness.
