| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Somalia, Pakistan, Panama, Denmark and Greece will become non-permanent members of the UN Security Council for the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026. The press service of the world organization reported this on June 6. Every year, five non-permanent members leave the UN Security Council, and five new ones are elected to their places. To be included in the UN Security Council, each country must receive two-thirds of the votes from those present in the General Assembly hall. In total, the Security Council includes 15 states, of which five are permanent members (Russia, USA, Great Britain, China, France) and 10 temporary. As Regnum reported, official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said on April 27 that Moscow has always supported and continues to support the UN Security Council reform process. She recalled that a scrupulous negotiation process has been underway on this topic since 2009, aimed at developing a compromise solution that will enjoy the widest possible support, ideally consensus. The Russian side, together with like-minded people, is actively working on this, the diplomat added. In particular, Moscow insists on expanding the UN Security Council to include developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. |
