News has emerged that Pakistan has officially requested membership as a full member of the BRICS bloc with a statement by Muhammad Khalid Jamali, the country's new ambassador to the Russia.
Sputnik India has contacted a Pakistani source close to the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to confirm the Islamabad's application for BRICS membership.
The official socurce, who was asked about the application for BRICS, stated that Pakistan had submitted its application to become a member of the BRICS group.
"He clarified that Islamabad intends to become a member of the group during Russia's presidency in 2024. Pakistan has been actively pursuing membership in the BRICS organization, which aims to foster regional collaboration and economic development, for the past twelve months".
He further said, "a delegation from Pakistan's foreign office, comprising ministers and foreign experts, has made several trips to China and Russia to discuss this issue. Similarly, they met with key players from the grouping to confirm Pakistan's participation in BRICS at this time".
Early in October, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov announced that the BRICS group intended to finalise a list of prospective partner states prior to the 2024 summit in Kazan.
Pakistan had planned to take part in BRICS events last year, but India's veto prevented the nation from doing so.
According to a source from the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, representatives from BRICS nations will convene next week to deliberate on this issue and evaluate Pakistan's inclusion in the bloc.
Experts Express Doubts about Pakistan's BRICS Membership
Pakistan-based journalist, researcher, and analyst Adnan Aamir expressed uncertainity that it has been a long endeavour that Pakistan is striving to be part of BRICS as a full member, but owing to Indian state's rejection and blocking an application for membership, Pakistan is not yet a member of BRICS.
"The question that now has to be raised is whether India will accept Pakistan's entry into the BRICS club at this time, where China and Russia are collaborating to promote peace and stability in the region by engaging both countries Pakistan and India for collective cause", Aamir said.
