Pardon my ignorance, but why is Leonel so interested in getting a non-perminent seat in the United Nations? What benefits does this come with for the DR???

Leonel is very partial to this international statemanship lark. However, apart from the prestige of a seat on the UNSC, it is said that the DR is pursuing this to avoid awkwardness when choosing between the other candidates. If you yourself are a candidate, problem solved! Something about keeping oil suppliers to the south sweet while not ruffling the feathers of a certain neighbour to the north.
It is Venezuela right? I believe they are trying for that seat also.
