China cautious on G4 push for UNSC reforms
Why is it in news?
- China has said there were “enormous divisions” and a lack of consensus on taking forward the stalled reforms of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
Details:
- The Foreign Ministers of the four countries that are seeking UNSC reforms and permanent membership of the body met virtually on Wednesday, expressing their frustration at the repeated attempts to stall and derail the reforms process.
- India begins a two-year term as one of the 10 non-permanent UNSC members in January, and has said it will continue pushing for reforms that have failed to materialise over many years.
- Chinese analysts have long been dismissive of the G4, and have in the past indicated that China would not favour the inclusion.
