India has once again started efforts to get temporary membership of the United Nations Security Council i.e. UNSC. This temporary membership will be for the period 2028-2029. India has also started its official publicity for this.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar launched the campaign ‘Peace: India – Norms, Trust and Allegiance for the UN Security Council 2028-29’ during a special event organized at the UN Headquarters. Permanent representatives, diplomats and senior officials of various countries in the United Nations were present in this program.

India said its approach towards the United Nations is based on the concept of ‘peace’, which means ensuring overall progress through norms, trust and integrity. Earlier, India had been a temporary member of the Security Council for the period 2021-22.

India competes with which country?

Elections for the term 2028-29 of the UNSC will be held in June next year. There will be a contest between India and Tajikistan for the sole seat in the Asia-Pacific group.

Jaishankar is also scheduled to meet United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres. Earlier, he was on a visit to Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman from July 5 to 10. He reached New York during the weekend. He will participate in the third meeting of the India-EU Trade and Technology Council in Brussels on July 14-15 and will also meet his counterparts from the European Union and Belgium.

UNSC elections at a time when there are many changes in the world

This election of the United Nations Security Council will take place at a time when the world is facing a rapidly changing geopolitical scenario. Events like Ukraine war, Gaza conflict and US-Israel military action against Iran are giving a new direction to global politics.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the Parliament of Indonesia last week, had said that the global system is changing rapidly, at such a time developing countries like India want equal participation and a more effective role in global affairs. He had said that in this changing global scenario, reform of the United Nations Security Council has become necessary.

India has been an advocate of reform in UNSC

India has long been a key supporter of the demand for comprehensive reform of the UN Security Council. He says that the 15-member Security Council formed in 1945 is no longer in accordance with the needs of the 21st century and the current geopolitical realities. Therefore, the number of members in both the permanent and temporary sections of the Council should be increased. India has also been continuously reiterating that it is a legitimate claimant to the permanent membership of the Security Council.

Thailand-Cambodia implemented ceasefire

Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to implement ceasefire on Saturday (December 27, 2025). This agreement took place when just a few days ago the tension on the border between the two countries had increased further. At least 100 people from both the countries have died in the conflict that lasted for about 20 days, while lakhs of people left their homes.

Why is there dispute between Thailand and Cambodia?

This conflict between Thailand and Cambodia took place at many places along the 817 km long border. In July this year, the situation on the border had worsened and many people had died in military action. At that time, under the mediation of America and China, both the countries were ready for ceasefire. However, on December 7, both countries accused each other of ceasefire violations, due to which the situation worsened again. This dispute between the two countries is related to the border lines of the colonial era and the condition of the ancient temples present in the border area.
