ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Thursday announced that Pakistan had made a formal request to join BRICS group of developing countries.
Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said, “We have taken this decision after having noted the BRICS-related developments in Johannesburg.”
She hoped that the BRICS will move forward on Pakistan’s request in line with its commitment for inclusive multilateralism.
In reply to a question about a conspiracy foiled by the United States to assassinate a Sikh leader in the US, she said Pakistan had long been a target of India’s state sponsored terrorism, subversion and espionage.
To another question, the spokesperson said Pakistan was concerned over the terror threat emanating from Afghanistan. “we expect Afghan authorities to take immediate action against the terrorist entities so that they do not pose any threat to us.”
“Peace in the region can only be achieved with the implementation of the relevant UN resolutions calling for a two-state solution, culminating in a viable, sovereign and geographically-contiguous Palestinian state within the pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital,” she added.
