John Bolton Says China Unlikely to Support India's UN Security Council Bid
Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton stated that China is unlikely to support India's bid for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. He noted that expanding permanent membership requires amending the UN Charter, a move China could veto. Bolton highlighted that the Security Council's composition has remained unchanged since 1945 and expressed skepticism about prospects for reform amid broader institutional challenges faced by the UN. India, along with other countries, continues to seek a more representative Security Council.
