UK's Seat Should Go To India: Ex-Singaporean Diplomat On UN Security Council Reforms

In an exclusive interview to NDTV's Sonia Singh, former diplomat Kishore Mahbubani talked about the much-needed reforms in the United Nations.

The United Nations Security Council needs urgent reforms and India should get its rightful place as a permanent member of the top UN body, says former Singapore diplomat professor Kishore Mahbubani.

In an exclusive interview to NDTV's Sonia Singh, Mr Mahbubani talked about the much-needed reforms in the United Nations, saying that he believes the United Kingdom should give up its permanent seat at the UN Security Council (UNSC) for India.

"There is absolutely no question that India is the third-most powerful country in the world today after the United States and China. And that Great Britain is no longer 'great'," he said.
