Denisov: We are against the accession of Germany and Japan to the Security Council and with the accession of India and Brazil

Beijing (ST): Russia announced its refusal to include Germany and Japan in the UN Security Council and that it supports the presence of Asian, African and Latin countries such as India and Brazil.

RIA Novosti news agency quoted Russian Ambassador to China Andrei Denisov as saying during the plenary session of the United Nations World Peace Forum in Beijing “The UN Security Council has practically turned into an arena used by Western colleagues for propaganda, where they present their views as the ultimate truth. These actions further distance the members of the Council.”

He added: “ The United Nations reform is an urgent necessity, and Russia supports the expansion of the UN Security Council on the basis of broad consensus. To achieve this, the share of Asian, African and Latin American countries must be increased so that the Council can reflect the aspirations of the peoples of the world and become more democratic.”
