There are not many differences between China and Russia in the diplomatic field, and whether India should become a permanent member of the UN Security Council is a question.
In fact, not only India, but also the so-called "G-4" want to become the sixth permanent member.
The "group of four", made up of Japan, India, Brazil and Germany, which is trying to become permanent members of the UN Security Council, has been lobbying for membership in the UN but has been repeatedly thwarted.
We know that after the end of World War II, the international order was built on the basis of the United Nations. The original idea was actually a "three-police" world for the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom. Since the United States and Chiang Kai-shek's China had good relations at that time, China's accession was inevitable (China was also one of the four major allies at the time, so it should have joined).
Subsequently, perhaps for reasons of efficiency in decision-making, France was added. Thus, the pattern of the five permanent members was established.
The five permanent members were essentially decided on the basis of the leadership of the victorious powers in World War II and have a corresponding legal basis.
Now, including the defeated countries Germany and Japan, are also asking to join, which is logically contradictory.
But these countries have supporters behind them. The main supporter of India is the United States, followed by Russia.
There are only five permanent members of the UN Security Council, which can basically be divided into two camps: China and Russia, as well as the United States, Britain and France.
In recent years, the United States has tried to rally other allies to join, but has always been vetoed by China and Russia.
The United States will certainly veto candidates that China and Russia deem suitable. This veto is indeed useful, and it is no wonder that everyone is eager to have it.
In recent years, the United States has been highly recommending India. The reason for this is simple: they do not want China to dominate in Asia.
China is also well aware of the intentions of the United States.
But in the UN Security Council, China is not alone in opposing India's accession.
"Today we have reached a series of agreements to promote the expansion of cooperation, which will also be carried out in the planned projects such as the North-South International Transport Corridor, the Chennai-Vladivostok route and the development of the Northern Sea Route, which are very promising," Lavrov said. He then supported India's accession to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. ”
Why does Russia support India to become the P5?
To put it simply, it is to maintain relations between Russia and India. Russia's support for India's entry into the P5 is likely to be fruitless, as China is likely to veto.
But this will not prevent Russia from continuing to nominate people. The most important thing is that all parties are satisfied.
