News Report: Russia supports India's inclusion in UNSC


Russia will support India’s inclusion in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as a permanent member in case it is reformed, Speaker of the Russian Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko confirmed this Tuesday, meeting with the Chairman of the lower house of the Indian Parliament Meira Kumar in New Delhi, a Voice of Russia correspondent reported.

Matviyenko said that earlier Russia supported India’s inclusion in the UNSC as a non-permanent member for 2011-2012. Russia, China, the USA, Britain, and France have been the permanent members of the UN Security Council since its foundation.
