The regional cooperation in South Asia was first discussed at the Asian Relations Conference (1947), the Baguio Conference (1950), and the Colombo Powers Conference (1954). The SAARC concept took shape in 1980 when Bangladesh’s President Ziaur Rahman proposed regional cooperation to promote peace and stability. The SAARC was officially established on 8th December 1985, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with 7 founding members: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan joined as the 8th member in 2007. The SAARC’s agenda includes the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA), established in 2004 and effective from 2006, aimed at reducing tariffs and promoting free trade in South Asia.
- On 8th December 2024, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) marked its 40th Charter Day. This day is commemorated annually to honor the establishment of SAARC.
