On Wednesday, Lula da Silva arrived in India for a five-day state visit, where he met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Apart from critical minerals and trade, the two leaders addressed cooperation in investment, defense, multilateralism and global governance. The Brazilian president added that 20 years ago, Brazil, India, Japan, and Germany have formed the Group of Four (G-4), which has been long advocating for the expansion of the Security Council. "Expanding permanent and non-permanent Security Council members, including Brazil and India, is essential for global governance's legitimacy and efficiency," Lula said. The Group of Four (G-4) comprises India, Brazil, Germany and Japan, who seek permanent seats in the UN Security Council and whose development level is comparable to those of current permanent Security Council members. At the latest G4 meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, the foreign ministers called for reforming the Security Council and reaffirmed mutual support.
