Russia and India are two nuclear powers, as well as permanent members and candidates for the UN Security Council. Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov visited India and expressed support for India to become a permanent member of the Security Council, which has aroused the attention of the international community. Why did Russia suddenly support India's "normalization"?What does India think about this?
Russia's rush to support India's entry into the norm may be motivated by two motives: on the one hand, Russia needs to expand its foreign energy exports, boost its economic development, and prepare for the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the challenges of the NATO bloc. You must know that now that Russia is sanctioned by the United States and Europe, and its ** with the European Union has been interrupted, Russia can only gain economic momentum by opening its market to the east.
As a country with a large population and rapid economic growth, India is an important energy market for Russia, and Russia hopes to strengthen bilateral energy cooperation and improve its energy influence by supporting India's accession to normalization. Russia, on the other hand, is trying to seek more international support to break the isolation of the United States and Europe.
The sanctions imposed on Russia by many countries in the United States and Europe have made Russia extremely passive, and the world's major powers either remain neutral or stand on the side of the United States, which makes Russia isolated, and only with the support of major powers can Russia reduce the pressure. As an influential emerging power, India has traditional friendly relations with Russia, and Russia hopes to enhance bilateral political mutual trust and form an international balance of power favorable to itself by supporting India's accession to the permanent state.
India aspires to become a permanent member of the Security Council in order to reflect its status as a great power, enhance its international discourse and safeguard its national interests. India sees itself as a country with a population of 1.3 billion, a nuclear-armed and growing economy, qualified and capable of becoming a permanent member of the Security Council, and that the reform of the Council is urgent and needs to be more reflective of the realities of today's world.
India has been actively seeking support from all sides, including Russia, the United States, France and other permanent members of the Security Council, as well as Japan, Germany and Brazil as candidates. India also faces a lot of challenges and difficulties. First, the reform of the Security Council involves the interests and powers of all parties, cannot be accomplished overnight, requires long-term consultations and compromises, and there is no universally accepted formula and standard.
Second, India's accession to the permanent state has been opposed and obstructed by some countries, especially China and Pakistan, which have deep historical and current contradictions and disputes with India, and are unwilling to see India's rise and influence expand. Although India is developing rapidly, it is also facing problems such as the gap between the rich and the poor, social instability, and ethnic and religious conflicts, and India also needs to maintain good relations with its neighbors to avoid triggering regional tensions and confrontations.
If India succeeds in becoming a permanent citizen, it will have some impact and significance for India and the world, with both opportunities and challenges. For India, joining the Standing Committee will be an opportunity to enhance its international status and influence, and India will be able to better participate in the decision-making and management of international affairs, safeguard its own development interests, and demonstrate its responsibility and responsibility as a major country.
At the same time, India will be able to more effectively solve some of the problems and challenges it faces, promote its own economic and social progress and prosperity, and strengthen cooperation and mutual trust with its neighbors. However, joining the Standing Committee will also bring some pressure and risks to India, which will need to assume more international obligations and responsibilities, face more international demands and expectations, handle more international relations and conflicts, and balance more international interests and principles.
For the world, India's accession to the permanent position will be an opportunity to promote the reform and improvement of the Council, which will be able to better reflect the diversity and multipolarity of today's world, increase its legitimacy and representativeness, and enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. At the same time, India's accession to the permanent state will also be an opportunity to promote international peace and development, and India will be able to provide more resources and programs to solve some global problems and challenges, such as terrorism, climate change, poverty and backwardness, and play more roles and contributions.
However, India's accession to the permanent state will also bring some changes and uncertainties to the world, some adjustments and changes will take place in the structure and operation of the Security Council, other members of the Council will need to reconsider and redefine their roles and positions, and the relations and coordination between the internal and external parts of the Council will face some new problems and challenges.
Russia's support for India's "normalization" has aroused international attention, and multiple factors such as energy and international support are involved. India aspires to become a permanent member of the Security Council in order to enhance its international standing, but it also faces opposition from its neighbors and complex domestic and foreign challenges. Normalisation is both an opportunity to increase India's global engagement and a challenge to balance international obligations with domestic development. This change will have far-reaching implications for the international community, and it is expected to promote the reform of the Security Council, but it may also bring about structural changes and new uncertainties.
