Natwar leaves for G-4 meeting in New York

The G-4 efforts to gain permanent UNSC membership ran into trouble earlier this week.

The US openly opposed the framework resolution and asked the member nations to vote against it, if it is tabled.

In New York, G-4 ministers are also scheduled to meet the representatives of the African Union to reconcile the differences between their two drafts and decide take a decision on when to call for vote.

The resolution requires two-thirds majority of the UN General Assembly.
