With the conclusion of the BRICS meeting, Pakistan’s dream of joining the BRICS has been shattered. Despite support from China and Russia, Pakistan has yet to join the BRICS grouping. Even Pakistan does not have a place in the list of new BRICS partners. At the same time, Türkiye was also included as a partner country. Pakistan formally applied to join the BRICS last year.
China promised Pakistan
China and Russia support Pakistan’s membership of BRICS. It is said that India is not very satisfied with Pakistan joining the BRICS. India, a rapidly growing economy and the largest country in South Asia, is one of the founding members of the group, which initially included Brazil (B), Russia (R), India (I), China (C), and later South Africa Get involved too. Since then, the first letter S of its name was taken from the name of South Africa, and the organization has since been called BRICS.
China has pledged to include Pakistan in BRICS, but Pakistan does not even have a list of partners, let alone BRICS. In addition to China, Russia has also expressed support for Pakistan’s joining the BRICS.
Has Prime Minister Modi conveyed a message to Russia and China on the Pakistan issue?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India is ready to welcome more “partner countries” into the BRICS but decisions in this regard should be taken unanimously. At the 16th BRICS leaders’ meeting, Prime Minister Modi also expressed Russia and China’s support for Pakistan’s membership in the BRICS group. Prime Minister Modi said that the opinions of the founding members of BRICS should be respected. In addition to Russia and China, the other two founding members of the BRICS are India and Brazil.
At the BRICS meeting, Prime Minister Modi also called on BRICS countries to focus on dealing with terrorism and the forces that breed terrorists, saying that there is no room for double standards on this issue.
BRICS can admit new members only by consensus, so it is clear that India’s opposition to Pakistan joining the group could derail its efforts to join the BRICS, even if supported by some other founding members. As expected, India did not agree to include Pakistan in this group. Most Pakistani leaders hope that with the help of Russia and China, Pakistan can successfully join the BRICS, but this is unlikely to happen.
Pakistan has applied to join BRICS
Pakistan formally applied to join the BRICS last year. Some senior Pakistani diplomats have also visited BRICS countries many times to seek support for joining the BRICS countries.
Pakistan hopes to strengthen its alliance with the world’s influential economies by joining the BRICS. By joining BRICS, Pakistan will benefit a lot economically and diplomatically. But this will do India no good as bilateral relations between the two countries are going through their worst phase in at least the past five years. India is fighting terrorism emanating from Pakistan and does not want any relationship with Pakistan in this regard, as its stance at the BRICS Summit in Kazan clearly demonstrated.
Pakistan has accused
In June last year, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that its participation in talks held on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in China was rejected by “member states”. Although Pakistan did not use India’s name during this period, it made it clear that BRICS countries should take future decisions based on the interests of developing countries.
But this time, Pakistan is hopeful that, despite India’s objections, the BRICS doors will open for it with the support of Russia and China. Others say that India may also support Pakistan’s joining of the BRICS.
Let us tell you that in September this year, when Russian Deputy Prime Minister Ovechuk visited Pakistan, he announced that Russia welcomed Pakistan’s application to join the BRICS. Many analysts also believe that Russia’s support for Pakistan’s membership of the BRICS is a response to the close ties between India and the United States.
How is Brix formed?
The alliance started with just five countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), but last year the BRICS grouping added four new members: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is known as BRICS. brick country. add.
Many countries want to join the BRICS. Pakistan is also one of these countries. The BRICS countries as a group represent almost half of the world’s population today. According to various reports, in terms of GDP, the BRICS countries account for about 30% of the world’s GDP.
