Czech Republic Formed in 1991 at Visegrad, Hungary for cooperation in politics, economy, defence, culture. What was said? Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar said on behalf of V4: "We all agree as V4 countries that India as a part of the Global South, upcoming superpower in the Indo-Pacific region, must be at the table as the permanent member of the UN Security Council" Meeting was chaired under Slovakia's Presidency of V4.

G4 Connection: Note - Poster shows G4 Countries (India, Japan, Germany, Brazil) who support each other for UNSC permanent seat + UAE. V4 backing adds new European bloc to G4 push. 3.
