Portugal has reiterated its support for India’s bid for permanent membership in a reformed UN Security Council, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Briefing the media on the conclusion of President Droupadi Murmu’s two-day State Visit to Portugal, Secretary (West) Tanmaya Lal said that both countries are cooperating at various multilateral fora, including the United Nations. <\/p>\n

“During the visit, Portuguese leadership reiterated its support for permanent membership of India at the United Nations Security Council,” he said. <\/p>\n

India has been at the forefront of efforts at the UN to push for urgent long-pending reform of the Security Council, emphasising that it rightly deserves a place at the UN high table as a permanent member. <\/p>\n

India argues that the 15-nation council founded in 1945 is not fit for purpose in the 21st Century and does not reflect contemporary geo-political realities. <\/p>\n

Lal said Portugal contributes very strongly to the India-EU strategic Partnership and engagement with Portuguese-speaking Lusophone countries<\/a>. “In terms of contributing to the strong strategic partnership with the EU, Portugal has been a very good partner. The relationship is useful because India and the EU are currently negotiating FTA and we also have a trade and technology council at the interministerial level,” he said. Indian-origin former prime minister of Portugal, Antonio Costa, is currently the President of the European Council, which is negotiating the FTA. <\/p>\n

Terming the visit “historic”, Lal said the strategic partnership between the two has grown and expanded over the last few years. <\/p>\n

President Murmu’s visit to Portugal, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, follows a gap of 27 years since an Indian president last visited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
