Former Singapore diplomat Kishore Mahbubani urged reforms in the United Nations, suggesting India deserves a permanent seat at the UN Security Council (UNSC). He emphasized India’s growing global power, ranking third after the US and China. Mahbubani criticized the UK for not using its veto power for decades and called for the UK to relinquish its seat to India. He argued that the UNSC needs representation from today’s great powers, not those of the past. The diplomat also highlighted the importance of allowing nations like the UK to act independently without their UNSC obligations.
