The Thirteenth Saarc Summit was held in Dhaka on 12 and 13 November, after two postponements. There have been two positive developments.
  1. Afghanistan has been accepted as a full member, and
  2. Commitment on South Asia's free trade has been reaffirmed.

We hope the regional grouping will make further progress in the near future and cooperation among the member-states will be further enhanced.
