India calls for reform in Security Council

At a recent United Nations (UN) forum, India Ambassador Yojna Patel, Deputy Permanent Representative of India, reiterated the call for a more decisive and transparent approach to the reform of the Security I Council, emphasizing the need for text-based negotiations to address long-standing issues.

Ambassador Patel expressed gratitude for the efforts by the co-chairs of the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN) process, particularly highlighting initiatives like the digital repository and webcasting that were introduced to enhance discussions. However, she noted that despite these initiatives, progress remains slow and falls short of expectations given the critical nature of the issue.
