On the same day, Tuesday, a 17th, of April the United States Government, through the US Department of State principal Deputy Spokesperson, Vedant Patel, expressed their government's support for the reform of various United Nations institutions, primarily including the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
High profile entrepreneur Elon Musk made a debate recently over the idea that there should have been an Indian seat on the UN Security Council which he described as absurd. In the tweet on X (formerly Twitter) the boss of Tesla said, At a certain moment the UN bodies must undergo revision. The main aspect in the problem is the unwillingness of the people in power to cede it.
To further add to this, Musk said, “It is sheer ignorance on part of the India to keep itself away from the permanent Security Council position despite being the most civilized nation globally.” I hold that Africa as a whole should have a secure permanent seat, too.
Then, addressing the remarks made by the CEO of SpaceX, Vedat Patel said, President has made this implication in his UN General Assembly speech earlier, and Security Council has also made indirect references similar to this.
Vedant Patel, the American representative, iterated the endorsement of UN reforms for the Security Council, which will help it perform better in the current age. According to Vedant Patel, "I cannot, at the moment, give you the concrete measures for the reform, but we do acknowledge the need for the reform." Nevertheless, I will still refrain from going into more depth just yet.

The UN Security Council's Design:
UNSC consists of a total of 15 member states, the five of which are permanent members with veto power and the ten of which are non-permanent members that are elected for a two-year term. India's ongoing effort for a permanent seat on the Security Council has been greatly supported by the global community in the last few, which look forward to India's advocacy on the behalf of the developing countries.
The five permanent UNSC members are China, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and the United States.
In the BJP's election manifesto (Sankalp Patra) for the Lok Sabha elections, the party pledged to strive for India's permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council.
