NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday reflected on the crying need for reforms in the UN, adding that the international body in its current form faces a crisis of confidence.
Speaking at the United Nations Troop Contributing Countries' (UNTCC) Chiefs' Conclave hosted by the Indian Army, Rajnath Singh said, “We cannot fight today’s challenges with outdated multilateral structures. Without comprehensive reforms, the UN faces a crisis of confidence.”
“For today’s inter-connected world, we need a reformed multilateralism: That reflects today’s realities; gives voice to all stakeholders; addresses contemporary challenges; and focuses on human welfare, ” he said.
