Islamabad SAARC summit to be cancelled with pullout of 4 countries

The SAARC summit of 2016 will be cancelled, a senior diplomatic source in Kathmandu has confirmed to The Hindu. The confirmation from Nepal, the current SAARC Chair, came hours after Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan followed India’s decision to stay away from the November summit to be held in Islamabad.

“There is no question of holding the summit if four countries declare their unwillingness to participate. As the current SAARC Chair, Nepal has the responsibility of seeking a solution to such pre-summit disputes but under the current circumstances nothing much can be attempted. We will do the due formalities and will declare the summit of 2016 should be cancelled due to non-participation of member-states,” said a Kathmandu-based diplomatic source.

Shut Terror Havens, US Warns Pak; Islamabad's Agenda - Internationalise Kashmir?

The army today foiled two infiltration bids in Jammu and Kashmir - one in Uri, the other in Naugam. This on a day India began its project 'Isolate Pak' with Afghanistan and Bangladesh saying they are "ready to cooperate". Afghan envoy to India told NDTV that his country can consider SAARC boycott in Pakistan. The US, meanwhile, has warned Pakistan to shut terror havens and restrain nuclear weapon programs. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: what shape should India's 'isolate Pak' project can and should take? Is it time for India to boycott the SAARC session in Islamabad or join hands with countries like Afghanistan and Bangladesh to isolate Pakistan on its own home turf in Islamabad? How will Sushma Swraraj lead the offensive at UN General Assembly? We also look at Pakistan's not so hidden agenda - is the whole point to, once again, internationalise J&K?
