France President Sarkozy at the UN headquarters in New YorkUnited Nations: France made a strong case for expansion of the UN Security Council and Group of Eight industrialised nations on Wednesday, saying "we cannot wait any longer" to bring in countries like India and China into G-8.

"The 21st century world cannot be governed with the institutions of the 20th century," French President Nicolas Sarkozy told the United Nations General Assembly.

"Let today's major powers and the powers of tomorrow unite to shoulder together the responsibilities their influence give them in world affairs," Sarkozy, who is the current president of the EU, said.

He favoured expansion of the powerful 15-member Council and G-8, saying that it is not just "a matter fairness" but a necessary condition for "being able to act effectively".

"We cannot wait any longer to enlarge the Security Council. We cannot wait any longer to turn the G8 into the G13 or G14 and to bring in China, India, South Africa, Mexico and Brazil," said Sarkozy, who will host Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on September 30.

India is among the countries which are strong favourites for becoming a permanent member in an expanded Council.Currently, the permanent members are the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China.

My-comments:-President sarzoky is very practical when proposing India to get permanent membership of UN security council.And again a very futuristic leader to contain China, India, South Africa, Mexico and Brazil," into G-8 expansion.How can the world to become a better place ignorinmg the presence of these fast moving economies-when the developed world have negligible growth and have their market saturated!And coming back to modern educational formats-'every particle or object has a natural affinity to expand/not contraction or convergence'!Why they want to remain as 'strong power with veto and show their arrogance in world affairs!if responsible geo-political peace to be maintained, they have to update according to the 'changing scenario-or will face the wrath of natural course of destructive behavior of this earth planet, like the one already experineced "the split of USSR" into 11 something small pieces.We have to give a thought to accommodate change! my comments
