'DIPLOMATIC RELATIOND BETWEEN SAARC COUNTRIES'

It may be a pure coincidence, but it’s a serendipity laden with enormous symbolic significance. Exactly six months after taking charge of the world’s largest democracy and pulling off a diplomatic masterstroke by inviting leaders of all South Asian countries for his swearing-in ceremony in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Kathmandu for the 18th SAARC summit, signalling the pre-eminence of the ‘neighbourhood first’ template in his evolving foreign policy.
The focus on South Asia was visible from Day 1 of the Modi government and was reinforced by the prime minister’s travels to Bhutan and Nepal and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s trips to Dhaka, Thimphu, Male and Kathmandu.
Intertwined Destinies, Interlinked Dreams – expressions like these may appear ornate clichés for sceptics, but in reality it would be an understatement to underscore the enormous stakes each country has in fructifying immense potential of the region. India, the largest economy and the most populous country in the region, is an idealist as well as a realist in its ongoing efforts to revitalise the SAARC as the preeminent forum of regional cooperation and integration.
Regional Economic Integration
Imparting a renewed energy and momentum to regional economic integration will top the agenda at the Kathmandu summit, which is appositely themed:
"Deeper Integration for Peace, Progress and Prosperity.” The agreement on South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) has led to a scaling up of intra-regional exports to about US$ 22 billion in 2013 from US$ 10 billion in 2006, but experts say this is just the tip of the iceberg. The best is yet to come, and India is expected to proactively join efforts with other countries for actualising the vision of a South Asia Economic Union. The economic union envisages greater trade liberalisation, the development of cross-border trade infrastructure and the removal of non-tariff barriers, which is hindering the free movement of goods and services in the region. With the Modi government looking to make India a manufacturing powerhouse, Prime Minister Modi is expected to push for creating new cross-border production networks and joint manufacturing projects. India should also be pushing for proactive implementation of the SAARC agreement on services as the long-range goal of creating a seamless economic space in the region can only be achieved by free movement of not just goods, but through the liberalisation of services and the free movement of professionals.
Only Connect
Connectivity is the reigning theme of the Kathmandu summit. And India’s focus, too, will be on weaving the region together in a web of rail, road and air links. One can expect SAARC countries to sign a pact for the regulation of passenger and cargo vehicular traffic and finalise modalities for stepping up trans-regional rail networks. The wish list of connectivity projects is a long one, and there are many ideas on the table, which includes, among others, a container service that connects Bangladesh and Nepal to India through the India-Pakistan Peshawar route.
