India to back Pak re-entry to Commonwealth

ISLAMABAD : Pakistan’s efforts to secure re-entry into Commonwealth are likely to bear fruit as New Delhi has agreed not to oppose restoration of Islamabad’s membership into the club of former British colonies.

The membership was suspended soon after the military coup in October 1999 and the international organisation refused to lift ban on its entry after the elections of October 2002.
