India voted to UNSC high table

With 187 of 190 nations voting in its favour, India returned as a non-permanent member of the United Nations’ Security Council (UNSC) after 19 years on Tuesday. Of the UN’s 192 members, one nation chose to abstain while another nation’s vote was found invalid. In any case, India’s elevation to the UN high table had become almost certain after it emerged as the sole endorsed candidate from the Asia region, with 53 Asian countries supporting it
