India on Friday (May 15, 2026) strongly called for expansion of the U.N. Security Council with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar saying that the effectiveness and credibility of the global body will remain "constrained" without reforming it.
Mr. Jaishankar made the remarks at a conclave of the Foreign Ministers of the BRICS nations in New Delhi.
“We meet at a time when the effectiveness of global governance and the credibility of multilateralism are under increasing scrutiny,” he said.

“The world today is more interconnected, complex, and multipolar than when many of our current institutions were created. Yet, the structures that underpin global governance have not kept pace with these changes,” he noted.
