US President Joe Biden supports making India, Germany and Japan permanent members of the UN Security Council, a senior official told reporters. “We have historically and will continue to support the idea that Germany, Japan and India should be permanent members of the Security Council,” the official said in response to a question. “This is also why the United States supports increasing the number of both permanent and non-permanent representatives to the Security Council, including permanent members of countries we have supported for a long time,” Biden said. China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States are five permanent members with veto powers. The Group’s decisions are binding on all other Member States of the United Nations.
