iGlobal Desk

There is a notion among the United Nations Security Council's member states that there is a need for better representatives in the Security Council, including those countries who have a larger responsibility for peace, for making the well-being of the people, United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) President Csaba Korosi said.
"There is a notion among the member states that we need a better representative in Security Council, including those countries who have a larger responsibility for peace, larger responsibility for making well being for the people, and, of course, India among those who believe they can contribute to the well being of the world," Korosi said.

Korosi stated that in the past when the UNSC was made at that time India was not among the "biggest ones." He further added that UNSC will reform.
"India is one of the perhaps most active advocates for the early reform of the Security Council," he added.
Calling out India as a potential superpower country, the UNGA Chief said that in terms of population, economy, science and technology India is rapidly rising.
He also recalled his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, "I met Prime Minister Modi a couple of months ago in New Delhi, and I had a deep impression after our meeting. A person with vision, a person with strategic thinking, a person who has a very deep tradition bringing with himself a very deep tradition of a nation and a clear vision of where modern India should look like."
