India criticizes Uniting for Consensus (UfC) model for UN Security Council reform, opposing expansion of permanent seats.

India has criticized the Uniting for Consensus (UfC) model for UN Security Council reform, stating it opposes the idea supported by the majority of UN member states to expand permanent and non-permanent seats. The UfC model suggests a Security Council with 26 seats, with only non-permanent, elected members being increased while permanent membership remains unchanged. The group, which includes Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Italy, Malta, Mexico, Pakistan, the Republic of Korea, San Marino, Spain, and Turkey, opposes adding new permanent members to the Security Council.
