Japan and India to push for UN Security Council expansion and economic ties
It may be the only way the five “privileged by chance” will ever listen to. Growing opposition among the five permanent members to the UN Security Council in diluting their power is bringing India, Japan, Brazil and German together. These four countries are aspiring to gain support and a membership in the expanded Security Council of the UN.
The leaders of Japan and India agreed to push for an early expansion of the U.N. Security Council, and said their countries would work together to realize their common aim for permanent seats on the council Prime ministers Junichiro Koizumi and Manmohan Singh signed a statement agreeing on an eight-point agenda that also included steps to boost their sagging economic ties, and to launch a high-level strategic dialogue on regional and global issues. "The two countries will strive to develop closer dialogue and collaboration to secure peace, stability and prosperity in Asia ... and explore a new architecture for closer regional cooperation," said the statement, issued after the leaders met on Friday. In their 80-minute meeting in New Delhi, Koizumi and Singh held detailed talks on U.N. reform.
Similar close relationship is building between India, Brazil and Germany. The biggest concern for the “five privileged” is that they lose their Veto power. Kofi Annan told India to refrain from demanding Veto power. That actually now made the whole issue different. India’s common people now want exactly that – the permanent seat in UN with Veto power.
