Kremlin weighs in on talk of UN Security Council reforms
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov comments on Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s call to abolish permanent membership and the veto system.
MOSCOW - Russia's stance on UN Security Council reforms, as expressed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, indicates the country's desire for permanent membership expansion and a continued veto system. Peskov's comments come in response to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's proposal to abolish both permanent membership and the veto power.
Erdogan has been critical of the UN Security Council, arguing that the permanent members - Britain, China, France, Russia, and the US - do not accurately represent the global community and hinder swift decision-making. Peskov affirmed that Russia supports the reform of the Security Council, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the existing permanent membership and the veto power within the institution.
