Times of India: China backs India for UNSC seat, vaguely



China on Thursday joined Russia in vaguely backing India's quest for a permanent Security Council seat but there was no promise that Beijing would vote for New Delhi's inclusion on UN high table.


The joint statement issued after the summit of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) at Sanya also spoke of a growing desire among developing nations including India to play a bigger role in the UN.


"It is a step forward in our quest for a permanent seat in the UNSC," a senior foreign ministry official told TOI. But the ministry was not yet prepared to say that the move could be regarded as a whole-hearted endorsement of the 5-nation club.


In a sense, India's push for the permanent seat has been diluted by the inclusion of South Africa as one of the claimants being backed by BRICS. The joint statement of the BRIC summit last year backed India's and Brazil's case as South Africa was not a member at that time.


"China and Russia reiterate the importance they attach to the status of India, Brazil and South Africa in international affairs, and understand and support their aspiration to play a greater role in the UN," the joint statement said.


The BRICS joint statement clubbed India with Brazil as two players deserving a greater role in the world body.


Although emerging countries as whole have won more global attention, not every emerging economy could make its voice heard in the West-dominated world community. India should realize that the significance of BRICS nations is to build a powerful bargain chip for emerging countries in the negotiation with developed countries. For BRICS members, it deserves more considerations on what WE, rather than I, can do to in this world.
