President Barack Obama has backed India’s ambition for permanent membership of the UN Security Council, BBC News said. In an address to India’s parliament at the end of a three-day visit, Obama lavishly praised India’s development. His remarks will delight India, which has been lobbying for a seat at the UN’s top table for years. Analysts say it does not mean India will get a seat on the Security Council immediately; the unspecified reforms Obama mentioned could take years. Obama also said the Washington-Delhi relationship would be one of this century’s defining partnerships.
