The Republican Party in the United States has said America should fully back India's pursuit for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council. Powerful Republican Senator John McCain said, if we want India to join us in sharing the responsibilities for international peace and security, then the world's largest democracy needs to have a seat at the high table of international politics. He was speaking on Indo-US ties at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington last night. McCain said, India must be represented in the foundational institutions of the global order. He said, the United States should push for India's inclusion in the International Energy Agency, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, and those parts of the global non-proliferation regime from which India is still excluded.McCain's endorsement for India's bid for the UN Security Council gain significance given the bipartisan nature of support on Indo-US relationship and the emergenceof Republican Party as a strong force after the Tuesday's mid-term polls, in which it gained majority in the US House of Representatives.
