India has been elected to the UN Security Council with an overwhelming majority of 184 votes running on a platform of fighting terrorism and promoting the ethos of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' -- the world is one family.
Wednesday's elections took place against the backdrop of the conflict in Ladakh with China, whom it will join on the Council in January.
New Delhi won the Asia Pacific seat on the highest decision-making body of the UN with the unanimous support of the countries in the 55-member group, with China and Pakistan, at least openly, conceding support in face of overwhelming backing for India from the others.
Though India ran unopposed from Asia, eight countries apparently did not vote for India in the secret ballot in which 192 of the 193 member nations participated.
India will serve its eighth two-year term as a non-permanent member without veto powers, even as it pursues on a parallel track UN reforms aimed at getting a permanent seat.
Member States elect India to the non-permanent seat of the Security Council for the term 2021-22 with overwhelming support.Running unopposed for the seat for Latin American and Caribbean countries, Mexico won with 187 votes.
