WASHINGTON, Jan 28: The Commonwealth could review Pakistan’s suspension after the country’s parliamentary elections next month, the 53-nation group’s secretary general, Don McKinnon, said here on Monday.
An evaluation on the return of democratic government and the rule of law in Pakistan will be made by a Commonwealth ministerial team invited to the country after the February 18 elections, he said.
“The fact that they are inviting us to come back after the elections is a very strong point,” Don McKinnon told AFP in an interview in Washington.
