Biden expresses support for India in UN Security Council, while Brazil has been left out

The strategic relationship between the United States and India was emphasized in the joint statement

247 – On a visit to New Delhi for the G20 summit, US President Joe Biden reiterated his unwavering support for India and highlighted the US commitment to support India’s demand for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. This show of support is an important milestone, and highlights that India is a major beneficiary of this partnership a report By Maria Cristina Fernandez, in Valor.

Brazil’s historic quest for a permanent seat on the Security Council, which Brazilian diplomacy has long championed, did not receive any mention from Biden. This absence suggests that the United States is not currently aligned with Brazilian efforts to gain a more prominent position on the international stage.

The statement emphasized the strategic relationship between the United States and India, and highlighted shared values such as freedom, democracy, human rights, inclusion, and pluralism. However, the Indian opposition has raised concerns about democracy and human rights in the country, highlighting the need for an open dialogue on these issues as India seeks a permanent seat on the Security Council.

In the technological and nuclear context, the statement highlights the partnership between the two countries in the Critical and Emerging Technology Initiative (iCET) and the development of the next generation of nuclear reactors in cooperation. These commitments reflect the continued strengthening of bilateral cooperation, but also raise questions about the reasons for Brazil’s lack of participation in these efforts.
