Major differences among UN members over India's permanent membership in UNSC: China

New Delhi, Jan 16: Playing down Russia's backing for India and Brazil's entry into the UN Security Council as a permanent member, China Thursday said all parties have "major differences" in the matter and instead advocated for a "package solution", reported PTI.

During his visit to New Delhi on Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had backed India and Brazil to be permanent members of the UNSC.

"We are convinced that the overriding trend of the global development is the objective process of the formation of new centres of economic might, financial power and political influence and India is obviously one of them," Lavrov said.
