China backing India for UNSC seat?
 China will support India's candidacy for permanent membership of an expanded United Nations Security Council, said an Indian government document. According to the document, which was drawn up after a meeting between Chinese vice foreign minister Wu Dawei and Indian foreign secretary Shyam Saran, China understands and supports Indian aspirations to become a permanent UNSC member. "If the Indian side expresses its aspirations, the Chinese side will be happy to see this outcome," it said, adding, "On the issue of India becoming the permanent member of the Security Council, there will be no obstacle on the Chinese side." But China had carefully sidestepped the issue of veto power being granted to countries aspiring to become permanent UNSC members. Posted by: Fred 2005-04-12 |
