KATHMANDU, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- Leaders of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) met in Nepal's capital Kathmandu to discuss ways to promote integration as the organization pushes towards one community by 2030.
The eight SAARC member states are holding discussions for collective development at the two-day summit that kicked off on Wednesday under the theme "Deeper Integration for Peace and Prosperity."
Leaders of India, Pakistan Nike Air Max 90 Sale Clearance , Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka Nike Air Max Sale Clearance , Maldives and Afghanistan gathered at the opening ceremony on the 18th summit with similar goals in mind. Key among them was eradicating rampant poverty in a region that accounts for one fifth of the world's population, another was empowering youth and promoting regional trade.
Each leader ran through the challenges for SAARC as they viewed it with most appealing for deadlocked policies to be given new life through greater cooperation. They acknowledged that SAARC despite its nearly three-decade existence had failed to achieve sustainable growth, peace and security as envisioned by the founders.
All of them also appealed for cross border cooperation in liberalizing trade and fighting climate change, which is affecting all member states.
A slew of promises on crucial development were made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi insisting his vision for India and the region were identical.
"Nowhere are collective efforts more important than in South Asia and nowhere else it is more moderate Air Max 2017 Sale Clearance ," he told leaders at the opening ceremony.
"We face a long climb to the summit of development but I have confidence in our boundless potential. There is much to learn from each other and even more to do together," he said.
In an attempt to fast track much needed integration Modi pledged to assist funding for infrastructure in the region, streamline custom duties at borders, provide 3-5 year business visas to investors and implement a travelers' card for the bloc.
Immediate medical visa was also assured along with funds to set up a laboratory to combat tuberculosis in the region. India will also release vaccines to rid SAARC of polio.
"When we speak of SAARC we hear two reactions Air Max 2018 Sale Clearance , I'm sorry to say. Today less than 5 percent global trade take place between members and less than 1 percent of India's companies invest in SAARC. Still harder and expensive to travel within the region. How much have we done to put our resources into shared prosperity?" he questioned.
