India has said that the issue of veto power for the new permanent members in the reformed United Nations Security Council is important but it should not come in the way of reform of the UN body. Speaking at the informal meeting of General Assembly 2nd Inter-Governmental Negotiations meeting in New York, India's Permanent Representative to the UN Syed Akbaruddin said, the approach of G-4 is that the problem of veto is not one extending it immediately to new permanent members but of quality of introducing restrictions. He said, while the new members would have the same responsibilities and obligations as current permanent members, they would not exercise the veto until a decision on the matter has been taken. <br/> <br/>India, Brazil, Germany and Japan constitute the G4, which is stressing on Council reforms and they mutually support each other's candidatures for permanent seats on an expanded body. The G4 group rejected suggestions to create a category of longer-term elected members of the Council as a ploy to block adding new permanent members.
