All because of GHQ and PDMThose countries have small economy but are not in a mess like Pakistan. Pakistan have several deep rooted problems apart from economy, our governance is crap, our policies are counter productive and there is no stability in our system. It has frustrated chinese and other investers, see how koreans are suing us because of incompetence of our govt organizations. So who wants to deal with a mess like Pakistan? No one. If i was a foreign country, i wont even deal with Pakistan and wont even let Pakistanis visit.
Indian Idiot try to pit Pakistan against China again as always ? Indian source = garbage source. Indian ET is short for Indian Entertainment.
China backed India on keeping Pakistan out of BRICS Plus event
Interestingly, Pakistan doesn’t fit into the category of emerging markets unlike other invitees to BRICS meet and its economy is staring at a major crisis like that of Sri Lanka. Pakistan may even default on loan repayments.
In a deft diplomatic move, India worked with China to block entry of Pakistan to BRICS plus event last Friday. Pakistan, in a surprise move, made attempts to enter the BRICS outreach event for emergng economies that included Algeria, Argentina, Cambodia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Fiji, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Malaysia, and Thailand.
However, India moved swiftly to block Islamabad. As the BRICS chair for 2022, China reportedly agreed to India, and prevented the entry of its “all-weather ally" to the BRICS outreach event, which was addressed by PM Narendra Modi. New Delhi’s position was also reportedly backed by Russia, ET has learnt.
It may be recalled that the Indian envoy to China met Foreign Minister Wang Yi ahead of the BRICS Summit to discuss a slew of bilateral and international issues.
Interestingly, Pakistan doesn’t fit into the category of emerging markets unlike other invitees to BRICS meet and its economy is staring at a major crisis like that of Sri Lanka. Pakistan may even default on loan repayments.
In a statement, the Pakistani Foreign Office Monday said: “We have noted that this year a ‘High-level Dialogue on Global Development’ was held as a BRICS side event in which a number of developing and emerging economies were invited… Regrettably, one member (of BRICS) blocked Pakistan’s participation."
When Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian was asked about the issue by the staterun Associated Press of Pakistan at a regular news briefing on Monday, he replied the decision to hold the high-level dialogue was “based on consultation among BRICS countries,” but did not elaborate.
Islamabad is reportedly upset with China’s position to block its entry into BRICS.
Beijing has been frustrated with how governments in Pakistan have mishandled the country’s economy, slowing down the progress of projects related to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor ( CPEC).
There are negotiations going on between Islamabad and the International Monetary Fund to resume the $6 billion bailout package. Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves have depleted to a critical level and the country has less than six weeks of import cover remaining. The reserves are currently below $9 billion, according to Pakistan media reports.

What do you think the purpose of BRICS is? It's an attempt at creating a financial system in alternative to western led ones. And the fact that the development bank founded by 5 nations is already funding some projects now, It's not useless, atleast for those who are members and using the funds.BRICS is useless when India is in it.
India has territorial disputes with China.
China should just ditch BRICS and form a new organization with Pakistan.
For India, be it BRICS or SCO, it's all aimed at keeping Russia engaged at multiple levels. If we can get some funds and grants for projects, still better. Apart from that, It's just about having a seat.What will India gain by allowing Pakistan into BRICS? not that there is any significant trade going on between these two countries.
Maybe if China is such a good friend, it should revise its rates on loans to Pakistan to match those of IMF or EU based ones. Shouldn't it?Indian Idiot try to pit Pakistan against China again as always ? Indian source = garbage source. Indian ET is short for Indian Entertainment.
Indian source is the only source that told Chinese of their fallen men, if not for Indian media... Atleast, have some respect for your soldiers that became fishfood in the Galwan river!Indian Idiot try to pit Pakistan against China again as always ? Indian source = garbage source. Indian ET is short for Indian Entertainment.
You people sure like to make up fakes stories of Chinese soldiers to make you people feel good. Like one of Indian reports used more than 70 names of published PLA deceased generals some years ago just to fake the names of "dead" Chinese soldiers at Galwan, the whole nation of China just laughed, haha, LMAO !Indian source is the only source that told Chinese of their fallen men, if not for Indian media... Atleast, have some respect for your soldiers that became fishfood in the Galwan river!
It was a picture viral on social media, no media outlet shared it.Like one of Indian reports used more than 70 names of published PLA deceased generals
Totally agree. Also, SCO too. Have to convince Chinese and Russian govs now.Time to kick India out, China and Russia should have found out by now that India is a spokesman and representative of US and the west in this otherwise largely anti west bloc, India doesn't belong here.
Who the hell on the earth give you Indian the right to tell Chinese how to treat Pakistanis ? Now, you are complaining about Chinese loans to Pakistan for the purpose to improve the relationship between the two ? Then, you hope that Pakistan and China would turned to enemies all the time. Pakistan and China are you Indians' enemies, aren't they ? You people do have big narcissistic ego.Maybe if China is such a good friend, it should revise its rates on loans to Pakistan to match those of IMF or EU based ones. Shouldn't it?
