Credit: Reuters/Jim Young By Patricia Zengerle and Alistair Scrutton NEW DELHI | Mon Nov 8, 2010 10:30am EST NEW DELHI (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama endorsed on Monday India's long-held demand for a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council, a reflection of the Asian country's growing global weight and its challenge to rival China. India says a seat on the council would reflect the importance of the G20 nation as its trillion dollar economy helps spur global growth and its government exerts more and more influence over issues from Doha trade to climate change talks. "In the years ahead, I look forward to a reformed United Nations Security Council that includes India as a permanent member," Obama said in a speech to India's parliament on his first official visit to the world's largest democracy. "Let me suggest that with increased power comes increased responsibility," he added at the end of the first leg of a 10-day Asian tour that has also been seen about gathering support from countries like India to exert pressure on China on its currency. Ben Rhodes, White House deputy national security adviser, said ahead of Obama's speech that "this was a full endorsement" for India's permanent membership of a reformed Security Council. In his three-day trip -- the longest stay in any foreign country by Obama -- the U.S. leader announced $10 billion in business deals, aiming at reassuring voters at home that countries like India offer benefits for U.S. jobs rather than causing unemployment through outsourcing. The U.N. move comes as India increasingly competes with China for global resources, from Africa to Latin America. But its economic assertiveness has been often accompanied by cautious diplomacy on issues like Myanamar and engagement with Iran. The U.N. seat could be a pipe dream and face resistance from some of the U.N. Security Council's five permanent members -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States. But it is Obama's most headline-grabbing announcement in a visit that has seen the U.S. leader seek greater trade with India's massive yet underdeveloped and restricted markets as well as to help counterbalance the rise of China. The U.N. Security Council has since the body's inception had five permanent members with the power to veto resolutions. It has been criticized for not reflecting global 21st century power. Obama's trip with more than 200 business executives, and his U.N. announcement, underscored the growing importance of India, which by 2020 is expected to be one of the five largest economies in the world, along with Asian powers China and Japan. The West is increasingly dependent on India, and China to power their moribund economies. It was unclear how much Delhi would reciprocate by opening its economy more to foreign firms. "I don't think India is emerging. It has emerged. India is a key actor on the world stage," Obama told a joint news conference with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh earlier on Monday. Obama will also visit Indonesia, South Korea and Japan on the tour that will see Washington push to prevent countries unilaterally devaluing currencies to protect their exports, a top theme at the G20 summit in Seoul this week. Obama has also announced the United States would relax export controls over sensitive technology, another demand of India's. 1 2 Next Elections 2010 Politics Barack Obama United Nations COP15 World Comments See All Comments (4) | Post Comment Nov 07, 2010 10:08pm EST If push comes to shove and the US needs to choose, it had better go with India. Pakistan has been playing all sides. The problem is, the US will not be the one to bring down the Pakistani government, the Muslim extremists will. wesley69 Report As Abusive Nov 08, 2010 5:23am EST The global comity of nations are still unorganised. UN is still to be democratised. It is in the hands of few monopolistic countries. In this 21st century, it is a pity that a country like India has to beg for Security Council seat. US does not support India whole heartedly because India opposed US several times for the sake of global interests. India is a true leader in that sense. TVGUPTA Report As Abusive Nov 08, 2010 9:39am EST Does it really take the equivelant of almost an Army regiment to provide security for the President while traveling in India? What’s that costing the taxpayers? If it takes that many security personnel to protect him then I would say that India really isn’t that much of a friend. I would also say that it it takes that many people and that much money for his junket to India then, perhaps, he shouldn’t have made the trip. Ashau Report As Abusive Nov 08, 2010 10:53am EST Interesting. I’ve nothing against it and see the logic behind it. I understand that the rationale for permanent membership is fairly straightforward — these were the nations victorious in WW2. Plus, these are all nuclear armed countries. So, technically India meets the criteria. I wonder how Germany will receive this news? Or China, the other big Asian power? And should Russia still be seated as a permanent member now that it has sunk to second tier status?
