Pakistani Ambassador to Russia: Islamabad interested in joining BRICS

Pakistan remains interested in joining BRICS and hopes for broader support for its intention, stated Pakistani Ambassador to Moscow Faisal Niaz Tirmizi.

In an interview, he described BRICS as an emerging platform within the global economic landscape and expressed hope for wider international backing for Pakistan's intention to join.

As previously reported by the Pakistani newspaper Business Recorder, India opposes Pakistan's accession to #BRICS. However, the newspaper noted that growing diplomatic and political support from Russia, China, and other group members increases the chances of Pakistan's application being approved.

In November 2023, Pakistan's then‑Ambassador to Russia, Muhammad Khalid Jamali, announced that the country had submitted an application to join BRICS. In September 2024, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk stated that Moscow supported Islamabad's decision.
