🔆India and Iran are making significant progress in finalizing a 10-year pact for operations at the Chabahar port.
📍What is the Significance of Chabahar Port for India?
🔰Chabahar is Iran's only oceanic port. It is situated in Sistan and Baluchistan Province, on the Makran coast.
There are two main ports in Chabahar – the Shahid Kalantari port and the Shahid Beheshti port.
🔰Alternative Trade Route: Historically, India's access to Afghanistan and Central Asia has been largely dependent on transit routes through Pakistan.
Chabahar Port offers an alternative route that bypasses Pakistan, reducing India's reliance on its neighbor for trade with Afghanistan and beyond.
🔰Economic Benefits: Chabahar Port offers India a gateway to the resource-rich and economically vibrant region of Central Asia.
🔰Strategic Influence: By developing and operating Chabahar Port, India can enhance its strategic influence in the Indian Ocean region,thus strengthening India's geopolitical position.

🔆UN security Council ripe for reform
More than three decades after the debate first started over fundamental reforms at the United Nations (UN), the issue appears to have resurfaced at the ongoing General Assembly session of the world body.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Türkiye was blunt: “The Security Council has ceased to be the guarantor of world security and has become a battleground for the political strategies of only five countries.”
Even the UN’s Secretary-General, António Guterres, issued a stern warning: “The world has changed. Our institutions have not. We cannot effectively address problems as they are if institutions do not reflect the world as it is. Instead of solving problems, they risk becoming part of the problem.”
