India continued to push strongly for a reformed UN-led multilateral system during the United Nations General Assembly’s (UNGA) 77th session in New York.
- On September 23, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar participated in a meeting, ‘Reinvigorating Multilateralism and Achieving Comprehensive Reform of the UN Security Council’, with members of the UN reform-oriented ‘L.69’ group of developing countries, which resulted in a ‘Call to Action’ joint statement on reform.
- The group is seeking an expansion of permanent and non-permanent membership to the UNSC, reform in the body’s working methods and better representation of developing country aspirations, including African countries and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
