Pakistan suspended from Commonwealth

[method77]

Pakistan was suspended from the 53-nation Commonwealth on Thursday over President Pervez Musharraf's failure to lift imposition of emergency rule and meet a deadline to restore democracy in the country.

The Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG), a committee of nine foreign ministers empowered by the Commonwealth to make such decisions, agreed to turf Pakistan during a meeting in Uganda.

The decision came following Prime Minister Stephen Harper's call earlier in the day for Pakistan's removal.

"It was not an easy thing to do," said Helena Guergis, Canada's secretary of state for foreign affairs and international trade, who is representing Canada at the meeting of the voting group. "But in the end we all believe we've all made the right decision -- in support of democracy, in support of the people of Pakistan."
