Former Belgium Prime Minister Yveus Leterme has strongly advocated for the permanent inclusion of India in the UNSC, asserting that such a move will enhance the council's legitimacy and representation.
Mr. Leterme contended that there is a need for the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to adapt to the realities of the 21st century as it requires representation that goes beyond the structures established in the 20th century.
Lauding the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for elevating India's geopolitical stature, Mr. Leterme said the country has earned the right to a more robust position in the multilateral arena.
