August 2021: INDIA is Out to Prove it Deserves a Permanent Security Council Seat

As India assumes the Security Council presidency in August, it
seeks to show the world that it deserves a permanent seat at the
horseshoe table. On this episode, we are joined by Indian
Ambassador to the UN, T.S. Tirumurti, as well as foreign policy
expert Mohamed Zeeshan. Zeeshan is a staff writer at the Diplomat,
a foreign affairs publication, and has written a book called,
