President of the UN General Assembly Dennis Francis has commended India for its engagement on U.N. Security Council reform, even as he acknowledged that progress on the issue has been “too slow”.
“Well, I am acutely aware that India together with its G4 negotiating bloc on Security Council Reform, are clearly for a much more ambitious timeline to conclude the process within a period of two years,” President of the 78th session of the U.N. General Assembly Dennis Francis told PTI on Tuesday.
Mr. Francis is on an official visit to India from January 22 to 26 and will hold bilateral discussions with the leadership and representatives of the Indian Government, and engage with civil society, leading think tanks, embark on field visits and participate in events related to sustainability, multilateralism, accessibility, and digital public infrastructure, among other engagements.
