The Foreign Secretary also added that Beijing seeks restructuring of the UN, echoing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Attending the Group of Eight summit in Italy, the PM has stated that the UNSC needs restructuring, as its present structure poses serious problems of legitimacy. The system of two-tiered membership, which gives a veto to the five permanent members, i.e. the nations that emerged victorious after the Second World War, is clearly anachronistic," Dr Singh said. "It is obvious that if the system was being designed today it would be very different," he said while critiquing the sluggish movement in the crucial area of reforms of international institutions. Making a case for the inclusion of emerging and developing countries in the Security Council and global financial institutions, the Prime Minister outlined his vision of India's place in the international order. "India, as the largest democracy in the world and an emerging economy that has achieved the ability to grow rapidly, remains deeply committed to multilateralism," the PM said.
