Pakistan's Relations with SAARC Countries
The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) came into being in 1985.
The organization has eight members, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal,
Maldives, Bhutan and Afghanistan. The SAARC has set following objectives:
(i) Understanding each other's problems and taking steps to build mutual confidence.
(ii) Improve and strengthen collective self-reliance among the countries of South Asia.
Develop better understanding and promote cooperation in the Economic, cultural,
technological and scientific fields among the member countries.
(iii) Take a common position on the international issues of mutual interest. Explore ways
to increase cooperation with other regional and international organizations.
Pakistan's relations with SAARC countries are discussed below:
Pakistan and India
· India is located in the East of Pakistan. Its capital is Delhi. India has opted for
parliamentary system. Several efforts have been made to develop good
relations and enhance cooperation between the two countries within the
framework of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).
Pakistan has always expressed its wish to resolve its differences with India
through dialogue.
· Pak India relations have always been a story of ups and downs. Due to this, the
bilateral relations could not produce any significant result. Pakistan has always
invited India to come to the negotiation table resolve the unsettled issues
between the two countries but India has always ignored it.
· In 1988, on the sidelines of the SAARC Conference, Pakistan and Indian Prime
Ministers had the opportunity to meet and sign an agreement. Under the
agreement, the two countries agreed not to attack each other's nuclear facilities.
· Under the SAARC Organization, relations between Pakistan and India have
improved to some extent after 1990. Mutual trade and transportation between
the two countries increased. However these relations could not go beyond a
certain limit.
· During the SAARC Conference (Islamabad) in January 2004, talks were held
between the President of Pakistan and the Prime Minister of India. A number of
agreements were made between the two countries. Both leaders declared that
dialogue process shall continue to resolve the unsettled issues between the two
countries.
· Kashmir issue is the basic cause of contention between Pakistan and India. It is
not in the interest of India to come to fair and just solution of Kashmir issue. On
the other hand, Pakistan still stands by its just position that the Kashmir issue be
resolved in accordance with the United Nation's resolutions and the opinion of
the oppressed Kashmiris.
