PM Narendra Modi wants concrete outcome on UNSC reforms at upcoming meet

[samlove]

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today pitched for concrete outcomes to the long-pending issues of UN Security Council reforms and a proposed treaty to counter terrorism at the upcoming session of the world body as he met Mogens Lykketoft, President-elect of UNGA’s 70th Session.

Modi, while telling Lykketoft that he was looking forward to participating in the Summit on September 25, emphasised that the 70th Session of UNGA was a crucial moment for the United Nations.

It would be important to ensure that the UN meets the high expectations of the people, he said, according to a PMO statement.

In this regard, he called for securing concrete outcome on the long-pending issue of reform of the UN Security Council and strengthening the legal framework to combat terrorism through early finalization of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT), it added.

India is an aspirant for the permanent membership of the expanded Security Council.

Lykketoft acknowledged that India, as one of the largest democracies in the world and one of the biggest contributors to the UN Peacekeeping Operations, should have a greater role in the decision-making bodies at the UN, the statement said.

Modi reiterated India’s commitment to continue supporting the UN peacekeeping operations.

The Prime Minister noted that many of the Sustainable Development Goals, which form the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, were already being implemented by India through flagship programmes such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, Make in India, Digital India, Skill India, Smart Cities and Jan Dhan Yojna, the PMO statement said.

The two leaders exchanged views on issues related to climate change and, in this context, expressed the hope that the COP-21 Conference in Paris would come up with productive outcome to the satisfaction of developing countries.

At the outset, Modi congratulated Lykketoft on his election as the President of the landmark 70th Session of the UN General Assembly which would begin with the UN Summit for the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Lykketoft briefed Modi on his priorities for the 70th Session of the UN General Assembly.

In this regard, he specifically mentioned his priorities as renewing global partnerships for implementation of SDGs, climate change issues; improving the effectiveness of the UN contributions to international peace and security and improved response to humanitarian situations.

Very unlikely anything will come of this, the UNSC (and UN as a whole) is not interested in reforming itself. However, it is good that India's perspective and agenda is being pursued with vigour, instead of being meek and sidelined.

LOL.... no doubt. Which is why 1% of US ownes 35.4% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% owns 53.5%, which means that 20% of the people in the US owned a remarkable 89% of all wealth in the US .............. very fair.

UNSC will change or will loose its significance. Either way we stand to gain.

It has to do with your comment on "Fairness" of it all.

.... 20% of US is Jewish ? ........ at least you did not try deny that 80% Americans own only 11% of total wealth in the US.

@C130 ............ did some digging and it turns out I was wrong before.

It seems the top 1% of US owns 42.1% of all wealth in the US

The rest of the 19% owns 53.5% of the Financial wealth.

which means 80% of Americans own only 4.7% of Total Financial wealth.

jews make up 2% of the US population and hold positions of power and wealth even us whiteys could only dream of.

but yeah the rich get richer and poor get poorer.

still better than socialism I guess

not sure how the 1% has anything to do with fairness?? from my experience humans by nature aren't fair

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

What will Modi do with the UN seat ? The seat is for nations that have history of non interference in neighboring countries

It seems that its the Middle Class that gets poorer while the Rich gets Richer. There is only so much poorer the poor can get

I am not sure its better than socialism, US needs to dump the old model and adopt a newer one.

The inherent unfairness of the US system will make your adapt the same standards globally. That is inevitable.
