1 Member Of SAARC Practising "Cross-Border Terrorism": S Jaishankar

The SAARC has not been very effective since 2016 as its biennial summits have not taken place since the last one at Kathmandu in 2014.

The SAARC is "not moving forward" and meetings of the regional grouping have not happened in the last few years as one of its members is practising "cross-border terrorism", External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday.

The EAM's remarks on the stalling of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), without naming any country, comes ahead of his scheduled visit to Pakistan mid-October to attend a key meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in Islamabad.
