Pakistan has expressed its willingness to be a part of BRICS group of nations in 2024 and sought Russia’s help in securing the membership, a report said.
"Pakistan would like to be part of this important organization and we are in process of contacting member countries for extending support to Pakistan’s membership in general and Russian Federation in particular," the report quoted the ambassador as saying.
The Pakistani official also confirmed that Islamabad plans to join the group under Russia’s presidency, in 2024.
