NEW DELHI:United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) President Dennis Francis has said that the reform in the UN Security Council (UNSC) is necessary as it does not reflect the current geopolitical reality.

Earlier, the UNGA President held talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. Dr. Jaishankar appreciated Mr. Francis’s position on the urgent need for reforms in international institutions, especially the UNSC.

He added that Mr. Francis’s positive sentiments for India’s G20 Presidency and Voice of Global South Summits were notable and have strengthened multilateralism. Dr. Jaishankar said that they have agreed on the importance of accelerating Sustainable Development Goals and climate action. The Minister assured Mr.

Francis of India’s support for the Summit of the Future Process under his leadership which aims to achieve equitable and ambitious outcomes.
