Jaishankar Launches India's UNSC Campaign for 2028-29 Term
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar launched India's campaign for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2028-29 term at the UN headquarters. The elections will take place in June 2024, with India competing against Tajikistan for the Asia-Pacific Group seat. Jaishankar outlined India's priorities, including advocating for the Global South, promoting reformed multilateralism, and addressing threats from artificial intelligence. He also met with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to discuss global issues such as West Asia, Ukraine, and Sudan. India last held a non-permanent seat on the UNSC in 2021-22, marking its eighth term since 1950.
