To better reflect the world today, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested, while at the G7 summit which he attended as a guest, that the United Nations and its Security Council be reformed.

Modi said "The institutions created in the last century are not in line with the system of the twenty-first century … They do not reflect the realities of the present," explaining "That is why it is necessary that reforms should be implemented."

Modi argued that as long as the Global South remained absent from the five-nation Security Council, "The UN and the Security Council will remain just a talk shop."

"Met President [Zelenskyy] in Hiroshima. Conveyed our clear support for dialogue and diplomacy to find a way forward. We will continue extending humanitarian assistance to the people of Ukraine," Modi tweeted. 

On his part, Zelensky said that he briefed Modi on the tenants of his "peace formula" and invited him to join its implementation. The Ukrainian President also extended his gratitude to India for "supporting our country's [Ukraine's] territorial integrity and sovereignty" and providing humanitarian aid.
