New York, 04 July: Britain has demanded that India should be made a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
Supporting the expansion of the UNSC, Britain supported permanent membership for India, Japan, Germany, Brazil, and some African countries.
Ten countries are made non-permanent members of the UNSC for two years on rotation basis. The demand for including India as a permanent member is increasing continuously.
