Pakistan and BRICS: Where Does Islamabad Stand in the New World Order? | The Blue Newsroom | Nukta

Is the global power balance shifting, and where does Pakistan fit in? In this episode of The Blue Newsroom, Nukta Pakistan editor Amber Rahim Shamsi unpacks the latest BRICS summit tensions, including India’s reported push to soften language on Israel and Palestine, and what growing differences between Iran and the UAE could mean for the bloc’s future. As nations compete for influence within BRICS, Pakistan appears to be pursuing its own strategic path by strengthening defence and diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and China. Could this be Islamabad’s smarter long-term play? Also in this episode, we take a look at: • Pakistan’s AI Gap: A new Gallup Pakistan survey reveals that 85% of Pakistanis have never used artificial intelligence. What does this mean for the country’s digital future? • Michael Jackson Returns: The King of Pop’s upcoming biopic is already making headlines, but is it telling the full story? From geopolitics and technology to pop culture, this episode covers the stories shaping the world today.
