India has formally announced its candidature for a non‑permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2028‑29 term, with elections scheduled for June next year where it will compete with Tajikistan for the sole Asia‑Pacific Group seat.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Harish Parvathaneni, said the country will prioritize artificial intelligence and maritime security, emphasizing that technology must strengthen human security, protect freedom of navigation and support seafarers in line with the UN Charter, UNCLOS and the work of the International Maritime Organisation. He highlighted the role of India’s Information Fusion Centre–Indian Ocean Region and the SAGAR vision in promoting cooperation, cyber‑resilience and equitable access to technology, and called for international collaboration under Greece’s October Security Council presidency.
