US Prez Obama Endorses India’s Candidature for Permanent Membership of UN Security Council

25 Feb, New York

US President Barack Obama has endorsed India’s candidature for the permanent membership of the reformed UN Security Council.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday that India’s permanent membership to the UN security council is among a variety of other important reforms to the United Nations that Obama has endorsed.

Earnest, however, said that he has no updates on the status of the ongoing reforms to the UN or efforts to try to bring about some of those reforms.

During his India visit last month, the US President had reaffirmed his support for a reformed UN Security Council with India as a permanent member.
