For many years, India has been requesting permanent membership in the UN Security Council. The nation has received backing from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France at the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York. Consequently, India has gained support from three of the five permanent members of the Security Council.
In a statement, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer supported India's complete admittance to the UN Security Council. In his remarks on Thursday at the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York, Starmer endorsed India's claim.
Both French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Joe Biden supported India's demand a few days ago. This information was reported by NDTV on Friday.
The Security Council "must increase the representation of more countries," according to UK Prime Minister Starmer.
Ten non-permanent member states and five permanent members make up the Security Council at the moment. For two-year terms, temporary members are chosen from their respective regions.
The USA, France, China, UK, and Russia are the permanent members. A permanent member's veto power over any Security Council decision exists.
On Wednesday, Indian permanent participation in the Security Council was urged by French President Emmanuel Macron.

We will have challenges in advancing as long as the Security Council's doors are closed and each party solely looks out for itself. Let's increase the UN's efficacy. Making it more inclusive should be the main initiative in this direction. France supports the idea of broadening the purview of the Security Council because of this.
Joe Biden also made a statement last week on behalf of India. Biden expressed his desire to restructure the UN Security Council at a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington. He desires an increase in India's representation in the Security Council and other key international bodies.
The 15-nation council that was established in 1945, according to New Delhi, is insufficient to address the demands of the day. This organization does not represent the geopolitical realities of the twenty-first century.
In addition, Turkish President Erdogan demanded UN reform, claiming that the current arrangement overlooks the 10 non-permanent members and grants the five permanent members complete decision-making authority, which is no longer acceptable in the modern world.
The world is larger than these five countries, as he has already stated.
However, the UN Secretary General declared on Sunday that the 15-member Security Council is becoming "obsolete" and that its power is dwindling.
The world organization will soon lose all credibility, according to António Guterres, if it doesn't change its membership and operating practices.
