India’s bid for a seat on the United Nations Security Council receives support from four European countries following talks in the V4+India format, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar says. The discussion includes plans to deepen political and economic cooperation between India and the V4 states.
Jaishankar said the first meeting under the V4+India format agrees to closer political cooperation. This includes holding annual meetings of foreign ministers. He also said the countries plan deeper economic engagement, including an Annual Business Forum, as part of the broader effort to expand ties.
Across the coverage, the emphasis is on diplomatic coordination and follow-up mechanisms set out during the meeting. While outlets highlight the European countries’ backing for India’s Security Council campaign, they also frame it within the same regional partnership agenda, linking support to wider cooperation in politics and business.
