Successes and Failures of SAARC

Sunita Kaler

Abstract :

 SAARC was founded by seven states in 1985.Afghanistan joined SAARC as its eighth member state in April 2007.Today this region is facing many issues like terrorism, poverty, deprivation of food, drug trafficking, extremism, and economic crisis. These core issues cannot be resolved at bilateral level. It is significant to have a joint effort and close coordination among the member countries to solve these threatening issues.SAARC can fulfill its objectives like corruption elimination, acceleration of economic growth, Social and cultural growth and collective self–reliance only if the mutual trust has existed among them. Regional and domestic issues can be resolved if the leadership of the countries is serious in favor of public security and concord
