India calls for a representative UN:
Context
- India has extended support to efforts of U.S. President Donald Trump to reform the UN, as it would include the expansion of the number of permanent and non-permanent members of the world body.
What were the discussions on reform?
- During a discussion on UN reform, Mr. Trump insisted that he had always seen the “great potential” of the organization, but warned that “bureaucracy” was stopping it from realizing its potential.
- Once a harsh critic of the U.N., Trump called for reforms — a view India had been expressing for a long time.
What was India’s take on it?
- “We have said the world body should be reformed to keep pace with the changed times, including the expansion of its permanent or non-permanent members,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said at a press conference here. “We have consistently maintained the same line,” he added.
What were the words on fair globalization?
- Reforming the development system to become much more field-focused, well-coordinated and accountable to better assist countries through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the way paved to a fair globalization.
