PARIS: The Paris Club of creditor countries said on Friday it was giving Pakistan another extension to service its debt so that it can dedicate its resources to fighting the Covid pandemic.

The country has until December to make the payment, the club said in a statement, without releasing a figure.

Islamabad "is committed to devote the resources freed by this initiative to increase spending in order to mitigate the health, economic and social impact of the Covid-19 crisis," the statement added.
