The BJP pledged that it is committed to seeking permanent membership in the UN Security Council to elevate Bharat’s position in global decision-making. The government will continue to make all efforts to create a consensus among all members of UN on a Comprehensive Convention against Intentional terrorism.

“ We will build upon the success of the ‘No Money for Terror’ conference to develop better coordination of countering terrorism financing,” it said.
