Commonwealth re-admits Pakistan

Pakistan is to be re-admitted to the Commonwealth, five years after it was suspended because of a military coup.

The Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group praised progress towards democracy by President Pervez Musharraf, who seized power in 1999.

The Commonwealth Secretary-General, Don McKinnon, made the announcement at a news conference in London on Saturday.

Diplomats said the UK and Australia wanted to reward President Musharraf for helping fight al-Qaeda.
