As the two nations reaffirmed their commitment to deepening their bilateral ties, Pakistan has once again asked Russia for support in its desire to join BRICS.
According to a statement released by the President Secretariat Press Wing on Monday, the occurrence occurred during a meeting between President Asif Ali Zardari and the visiting Parliamentary delegation, which was led by Speaker of the Russian Federation Council Valentina Matvienko, at Aiwan-e-Sadr.
According to the statement, President Zardari asked Moscow for assistance for Pakistan’s BRICS membership, which would significantly improve Pakistan’s position in regional and international cooperation.
In November of last year, Pakistan submitted an application to join the BRICS.
Pakistan was not invited to the BRICS meeting, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zehra Baloch stated at the latest media conference.
