US should support India's pursuit for UNSC permanent seat, says McCain | United States' Republican Party has stated that America should fully back India's pursuit for a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Senior Republican Senator John McCain has said, "if we want India to join
us in sharing the responsibilities for international peace and security, then
the world's largest democracy needs to have a seat at the high table of international
politics." McCain said it while speaking on Indo-US ties at the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace in Washington Friday night. India, McCain said, must be
represented in the foundational institutions of the global order. He said, the
United States should push for India's inclusion in the International Energy Agency,
the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, and those parts of the global non-proliferation
regime from which India is still excluded. McCain's endorsement for India's bid
for the UN Security Council gain significance given the bipartisan nature of support
on Indo-US relationship and the emergence of Republican Party as a strong force
after the Tuesday's mid-term polls, in which it gained majority in the US House
of Representatives. It maybe noted that the Republicans won majority in the US
House of Representative in the November 2 mid-term elections. Outsourcing of US
jobs to India and other countries was one of the major issues during the election.
