Pakistan is listed among several countries that have applied to join BRICS but have not yet been admitted, according to NDTV. The report says Pakistan’s application was submitted years ago and remains pending.
NDTV frames Pakistan’s interest as being closely tied to economic pressures, describing the move as largely driven by the country’s financial challenges. The outlet also notes that Pakistan is one of a group of 29 additional countries that have applied for BRICS membership.
The available reporting does not specify when Pakistan’s application was first formally submitted, whether the BRICS bloc has provided a timeline for decisions, or what criteria are being assessed. With only one source provided, there are no differing angles to reconcile beyond the emphasis on Pakistan’s economic motivations and the existence of multiple pending applications.
