[Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zakharova reiterated that Japan should not "join the permanent membership"] October 1st. On September 30, local time, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zakharova emphasized on issues such as "Japan's pursuit of a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and the deletion of the 'enemy clause' in the United Nations Charter." Permanent or non-permanent seats on the Security Council should not be added to Western countries, including Japan, otherwise it will further aggravate the unbalanced influence of the "collective West" on the institution and may even hinder the normal operation of the Security Council. Regarding Japan's pursuit of "membership", Zakharova pointed out that Japan is accelerating its remilitarization process, deviating from the pacifist provisions in its constitution, and is actually sliding towards the disintegration of the post-World War II international order.
