Amid global turbulence, EAM Jaishankar launches India's UNSC non-permanent bid with 'SHANTI' vision

Jul 14, 2026

New York (US), July 14, 2026(ANI): External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar said, "...It's a pleasure to join you today afternoon, to launch India's Candidature to serve as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the term 2028-29. We do so at a time when the world is facing a profound paradox. Never before has the world possessed such immense capabilities to advance human welfare at this scale. At the same time, we are witnessing levels of conflict, violence and instability that threaten even those who may be very far away. To address this complexity, the United Nations must take the lead and the Security Council elections to its membership consequently assume rating. As a candidate, it is natural that member states would like to understand what India brings to the table. One part of that is our vision of the priorities that the world and the United Nations must address. The other is a track record which enables the international community to make its own judgment."
