Supporting India’s permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council, he said that long-standing institutions like the United Nations should keep on reinventing themselves to make their future as influential as the past.

India is an important player on the global stage in many ways.
Want to see India play an active role globally: Cleverly
He said Britain was the first of the five permanent members of the Security Council. The Security Council also includes China, France, Russia and the United States. He also supported giving permanent membership to India in the Security Council. Cleverly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Commonwealth and Development in the new government of Prime Minister Liz Truss, said: “I think it is appropriate that the Security Council reflects the world it is today and not the world when the United Nations was created.” Obviously we want to see India play a full and active role on the global stage with its size and economic impact.
