Lavrov’s remarks about India
“I think that India is currently one of the leading countries in terms of economic growth, maybe even the leader. Its population will soon be bigger than that of any other country. New Delhi has vast diplomatic experience in settling various kinds of problems, as well as authority and a reputation in its region. India is part of a range of integration structures in South Asia within SCO and it takes an active role in United Nations. India is a country that not only aspires to be but is at the essence of the forming of a multipolar world as one of its most important poles,” Lavrov remarked.
On December 7, Lavrov made these comments in response to questions from the media at the Primakov Readings International Forum in Moscow.

India emphasizes for UNSC reforms to ensure fair representation
India has pushed for UN Security Council reforms to ensure fair representation. Last month, Ruchira Kamboj, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, made a joint statement on behalf of the G4 nations, stating that “the longer the reform is postponed, the larger its deficiency in representation.”
Brazil, Germany, India, and Japan, collectively known as the G4, support one another’s applications for seats on the Council.
According to the Russian foreign minister, the promotion of Japan, Germany, India, and Brazil’s applications to the UN Security Council shows multipolarity.
“We see what added value India and Brazil can bring to UNSC knowing their stances on global & regional issues,” Lavrov exclaimed.
