NEW DELHI: While pushing for reforms in international institutions, including UNSC, India and South Africa on Friday announced support to each other’s candidatures for the non-permanent seat for the 2011-2012 term. PM Manmohan Singh said after his meeting with President Jacob Zuma that the two leaders had also agreed to focus on the “expansion of our economic, trade and investment relationship”.

“We will step up our efforts for the reform of global institutions of governance, including of the United Nations Security Council. We have agreed to support each other’s candidatures for the non-permanent seat for the 2011-2012 term,” Singh said.

The two leaders emphasized the need for reform of the United Nations to render it more “democratic and consistent with the priorities of the developing world”.

Singh also used the opportunity to convey his best ishes to Zuma for the “grand success” of the football World Cup. Zuma, in turn, thanked India for its support. He congratulated India on hosting the Commonwealth Games later this year and wished it success. “India is behind us,” Zuma said.

There should be a permanent member from the African continent. South Africa is a good candidate.

All the present members aspiring for UN Permanent Membership deserve the Seat. ( Japan , Brazil, South Africa , India ).

There could be couple of more seats.

1. Nigeria ( More Representation for Africa )
2. Saudi ( Representing Islamic view point )

India fair enough, 15% of the world's population and the next 21st centuary superpower (along with China), Japan 3rd largest economy in the world. But South Africa? and an Islamic seat? Islam is a religion of "peace" and should not get involved in polotics (although it already has) Islam is not a nation and as such should not be given a seat just because through their aggressive and ruthless missionary and conversion agenda they are the world's fastest growing religion.
