Pakistan looks to grow its global role with BRICS bid, but what about India?

Pakistan’s intellectual and political circles view BRICS as crucial for advancing the nation’s global interests, but it will require skillful navigation of geopolitical challenges and a persuasive case for membership, according to analysts.

This analysis by international relations scholar Taimur Khan spells out what is at stake.

One challenge will be Pakistan’s tense relationship with current BRICS member, India.

In short, analysts believe Pakistan’s inclusion would enhance BRICS’ geographic diversity and negotiating power, while the country’s economic potential and commitment to multilateralism align closely with BRICS’ goals. This integration would not only benefit Pakistan but also contribute significantly to BRICS’ objectives, underscoring its growing role in global affairs.
