Comments twitter facebook Sina Microblog reddit UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 28 -- Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Saturdaythat the UN Security Council should include more developing countries.
"The UN Security Council must be reformed and restructured to reflect current politicalrealities. More developing countries should be included as both permanent and non-permanent members," he told the general debate of the UN General Assembly, whichentered its fifth day.
He said multilateral financial institutions should also enable an enhanced voice ofdeveloping countries in their decision-making structures.
Singh commended the UN for setting the stage for the post-2015 Development Agenda,saying it is "especially important as we deal with a lingering global economic slowdown andcontinuing volatility in financial markets."
"These have imposed disproportionately heavy costs on developing countries andvulnerable groups within them," he said.
Singh said that growth and inclusive development are important for all countries.
"They require a supportive international economic environment, enhanced investmentflows, including from multilateral development banks, transfer of technology, and an openmultilateral trading regime," Singh said.
He also noted that a meaningful post-2015 agenda must place equal priority on food andnutrition, health, education, infrastructure, water, sanitation, energy and removal ofdiscrimination against women.
