Security Council. President Patil's is visiting China at the invitation of her
Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao from May 26 to 31. Her visit coincides with the

China. Minister of Food Processing Industries Subodh Kant Sahay, Foreign Secretary
Nirupama Rao and a business delegation are accompanying her. "We hope that India
should be in the United Nation Security Council (as a permanent member), and I
hope to take up the matter with my Chinese counterpart," President Patil said
when asked about seeking China's support in this regard. She also said that as
developing nations, India and China have similar approaches and viewpoints on
many global issues. India and China have successfully had close cooperation within
such international frameworks as G-20, BRIC countries and BASIC countries. The
