US President Joe Biden says that Washington supports the expansion of the UN Security Council to better represent areas including Africa and Latin America.
“The United States supports increasing the number of both permanent and non-permanent representatives of the council,” Biden told the UN General Assembly.
“This includes permanent seats for those nations we’ve long supported — permanent seats for countries in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean. The United States is committed to this vital work,” he adds.
