NEW DELHI, July 9: France on Thursday endorsed India’s call for reform of the United Nations and backed India for a permanent seat in the Security Council. "If we want the Security Council to remain a legitimate place for handling peace and security crises in the world, it is absolutely necessary to have India as well as a couple of others as permanent members," French envoy to India Jerome Bonnafont said here. The reform was also imperative "in order to avoid unilateralism and to create an environment where countries sit together to address the threats to peace", the envoy said while stressing that the last reforms to the Security Council were made in the 1960s.
