Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed gratitude to the Global Community for Supporting India for membership in the United National Security Council (UNSC).
“Deeply grateful for the overwhelming support shown by the global community for India’s membership of the UN Security Council,” PM Modi tweeted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India will work with all member nations to support global peace, security, resilience, and equity.
Last Wednesday, India elected to the UNSC as a non-permanent member with 184 votes out of the 192 votes for a two-year term starting January 1, 2021.

India was recommended as a candidate for the Asia-Pacific Group of UN member countries and faced no competition to get elected.
Additionally, in an announcement issued hours after the UNSC election results, the Indian ministry of external affairs expressed the dedication to a reformed multilateral system, which considers India’s long-running ambition and demand for a permanent seat on the council.
