On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would be “proud” if India became a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
At the same time, Erdogan stated that all non-P5 members should be given the opportunity to join the Security Council through rotation.
He was responding to a question at a press conference. In regard to the P5, or five permanent members of the Security Council, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Erdogan stated that “the world is bigger and larger than five.”
“We would be honoured if India became a permanent member of the UN Security Council.” “As you know, the world is much bigger than five,” he remarked.
“What we mean is that it’s not just about the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, and Russia.” “We don’t want only these five countries on the Security Council,” he explained.

UNSC stands for United Nations Security Council, whose primary responsibility is to maintain International peace and security. The council consists of 15 members, and they have 0ne vote each. Every Member State is required to abide by Council decisions.
When evaluating whether there is an aggression or threat to the peace, the Security Council is in charge. It suggests ways of adjusting the terms of settlement and encourages parties to a conflict to settle it peacefully. The Security Council occasionally has the option of using sanctions or even approving the use of force in order to preserve or restore global peace and security.
China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States are the five permanent members of the Security Council. These are the great powers that won World War II (or their successor states).

On January 17, 1947, the United Nations Council had its first session in London. The five permanent members are granted ‘great power unanimity,’ often known as veto power, which implies that if any of these countries veto a resolution, it cannot be passed even if it has the required 9 votes.
India is now a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
India was elected to the UN Security Council as a non-permanent member in June 2020, receiving 184 of the 193 votes cast at the UNGA. This membership is valid for the years 2021-22. For the year 2021-22, India was the only applicant from the Asia-Pacific region. This is India’s eighth visit to the UN Security Council. India had previously been a member in 1950-1951, 1967-1968, 1972-1973, 1977-1978, 1984-1985, 1991-1992, and 2011-12.
