The quest for a permanent seat in the UNSC is a unique example of a high-level joint diplomatic endeavour by both India and Germany. It seems to have suddenly lost sheen.
No, the G-4 (India, Brazil, Germany and Japan) resolution is still alive. The process will go on... look, I don’t see in the long run how a country with one of the largest populations in the world, a democracy and one of the largest contributors to the UN Peacekeeping force do not play a major role in the world by taking more responsibility in the UN.
