India on Monday launched its official campaign for a non-permanent seat at the UN Security Council for the 2028–29 term. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar launched India’s official campaign ‘Shanti: India for the United Nations Security Council 2028-29. Norms, Trust, Integrity’ for the two-year tenure at a special event in the UN headquarters attended by UN envoys, diplomats and officials. India said its approach to the United Nations is rooted in ‘SHANTI: Securing Holistic Advancement through Norms, Trust, Integrity.’ India last sat at the UN horseshoe table for the 2021-22 term."As a candidate, it is natural that member states would like to understand what India brings to the table. One part of that is our vision of the priorities that the world and the United Nations must address. The other is a track record which enables the international community to make its own judgment," he added.
