United Nations: Bhutan has openly supported India’s permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Bhutan’s Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, while calling India a strong contender for permanent membership of the UNSC, said such things on the world stage that will make your heart happy. PM Tshering Tobgay said that India is making significant economic progress. It also leads the ‘Global South’. Therefore, India deserves to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
Tobgay expressed his heartfelt gratitude for India’s “support and friendship” in Bhutan’s move out of the category of least developed countries (LDC). Addressing the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, Tobgay said, “The United Nations should be made compatible with the realities of today’s world. The current form of the Security Council is a relic of the past. We need a council that reflects the current geopolitical, economic scenario, and social realities.” He said Bhutan has long been advocating reforms in the 15-nation Security Council to make it more representative and effective.
India is an important economic power.
PM Tobgay said that we support making India a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. “India deserves to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council due to its significant economic progress, population, and leadership in the Global South.” Tobgay also supported making Japan a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. Permanent member countries of the Security Council, including France, Britain, and America, have supported giving India a place in the reorganized Security Council.
