Prime Minister Narendra Modi is holding a special summit with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. The four leaders form what is known as the G-4 group – countries which back each other’s bid for permanent seats at the UN Security Council, a powerful world body. India is making a strong bid for a permanent seat in an expanded Security Council.
Here are the highlights of the meeting:
- I am delighted to welcome you all.
- I especially want to thank PM Shinzo Abe who has just arrived in the US.
- The subject for reforms in the UN Security Council has been the focus of global attention for decades.
- Unfortunately there has been no progress so far.
- The reforms of the UN Security Council within a fixed timeframe has become urgent and important task.
- Our group of four countries, G4 came together in 2004 bound by our shared commitment to global peace in prosperity.
- Climate change and terrorism are new concerns.
- Cyber space are new frontiers of our challenges and opportunities.
