South Africa expects Russia to spearhead UNSC reform: Ambassador

Moscow, Nov 5 (UNI/Sputnik) Russia should lead the process of restructuring the UN Security Council (UNSC), Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of South Africa to Russia H.E. Mzuvukile Jeff Maqetuka told Sputnik.
Calls to reform the UN Security Council have been in the air for some time. In October, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, calling to expand the UNSC, said that the fate of the world should not be decided by a "handful" of countries that won in the Second World War, referring to the five permanent members of the council — China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
"Russia must spearhead the restructuring of the Security Council within the Security Council," Maqetuka said.
