Four nations forming the G4 alliance endorsed Africa's demand for permanent United Nations Security Council representation during meetings September 25. India, Brazil, Japan and Germany backed the Common African Position that seeks two permanent African seats on the council. Foreign ministers from these countries gathered during the 80th General Assembly session to advance Security Council expansion plans.
The ministers confirmed mutual support for each other's permanent membership applications while advocating broader council reform. They emphasized the need for enhanced representation from developing nations and underrepresented regions including Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. The group called for immediate Security Council changes to reflect current global political realities and improve international peacekeeping effectiveness through expanded permanent and non-permanent membership categories.
