NEW DELHI: German Chancellor Angela Merkel ended her day-long interaction with the Indian leadership with divergence of views evident on political issues, especially on the pace of expansion of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the bombing of Libya.

Of the dozen issues discussed during the meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Dr. Merkel, India assured Germany a transparent selection process for a multi-billion dollar tender for fighter aircraft and a stable investment policy.

This was in response to the German pitch for the Eurofighter Typhoon and higher foreign investment limit in sectors such as insurance. India also promised to look into intellectual property issues of concern to German companies, including one instance of a messy court case.

Its foolish to hope that Western European Powers in UNSC would ever want others to enter into it.

  1. Here's a better idea...eliminate the UNSC entirely. If we believe in democracy, why would we ever want an elite group within the UN to monopolize foreign policy. This would be a better approach...
