Earlier, Guterres had spoken at the ministerial-level meeting of the Security Council on New Orientation for a Reformed Multilateral System or NORMS during which India put the spotlight on reforming the Council.

Jaishankar tweeted that Guterres gave insights on reforms.

He also met ministers attending the Council session.
