Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera emphasized that Africa's underrepresentation in the UN Security Council must be addressed to grant the continent a legitimate role in global governance.
President Chakwera highlighted that African nations make up 28% of UN members, yet only occupy three of the 15 Security Council seats, underscoring an urgent need for reform.
Sierra Leone's President, Julius Maada Bio, echoed the sentiment that Africa "cannot wait any longer" for greater representation in the Security Council and demanded two permanent seats.
The ongoing discussions for Security Council reform have become stagnant due to disagreements on the extent of expansion and which countries should be included.
