India is all set to get a seat on the Security Council as a non-permanent member after a gap of 19 years through the elections to be held on Tuesday in the United Nations General Assembly.
India is expecting an easy win after Kazakhstan pulled out from the race earlier this year and there is no other challenger from the region.
While the Asian, African and Latin American seats are going uncontested with only one candidate each, the two seats for Western Europe and others Group are being fought for by Canada, Germany and Portugal.
South Africa is a shoo-in for the African seat, which leads to a configuration of three emerging economies -- India, Brazil and South Africa - being on the Council at the same time.
In the run-up to the elections, Indian envoy to the UN Hardeep Singh Puri pointed out that BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) nations will occupy places in the Security Council in the coming year, and could present a united front on several contentious international issues.
