Algeria, through its Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lounes Mekreman, renewed its urgent call for reforming the UN Security Council and the need to grant Africa two permanent seats in the Council.

Mekreman stressed during the discussion that the aim of this move is not only to ensure broader representation for developing countries, but also to amend the working methods and provisions related to the veto, which often constitutes a point of contention in the implementation of the Council’s decisions.

Mekreman called for a clear and supportive position from the permanent member states of the Council – the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France – to demonstrate their commitment to the reform process.

He concluded his speech by emphasizing the importance of responding to African aspirations, noting that the desired reforms are a decisive step towards achieving justice and balance in the global system.

It is worth noting that the United Nations Security Council was established on October 24, 1945, after the end of World War II, and Algeria was not a founding member as it gained its independence in 1962, but it later played an important role as a member of the organization and participated in strengthening international security within the Security Council.
