Will India get permanent membership of the Security Council? Now this Muslim country has also supported it:

Kuwait's Permanent Representative to the United Nations and co-chair of the Inter-Governmental Dialogue (IGN) Tariq Albanai has expressed support for India's membership in the Security Council. He said if the number of members of the Council is increased from 21 to 27, India, being a major player on the world stage, will definitely be a contender.

UNSC needs reform

When asked what should be ensured to reform the UNSC, Albani said that the goal of reform is to increase representation. So if it is decided that the council will be expanded then India will definitely be a contender.

He said whatever form the reformed Council takes, it must be designed to last for the next century, based on the principles of inclusiveness, transparency, efficiency, effectiveness, democracy and accountability. He is encouraged by the momentum shown by Member States in this session.

The French embassy also extended its support

The spirit of reform requires both courage and creativity and the active participation of all delegations is essential as we work to build consensus on the key elements of Security Council reform. Earlier on April 1, the French Embassy in India had said that it would focus on the need for UNSC reform with the aim of getting India a permanent seat.
