Special Diplomacy with SAARC Countries!

India has enhanced its engagement with all SAARC countries both bilaterally and through the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).

It has increased efforts for enhancing trade and connectivity links through land, air and sea for accelerating regional integration and greater people-to-people contacts.

India continues its efforts to build peaceful cooperative ties with Pakistan to address the outstanding issues through peaceful bilateral dialogue.

A sub-regional Motor Vehicles Agreement (MVA) was signed between Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal (BBIN) on June 15, 2015 in Thimphu, Bhutan for the regulation of passenger, personal and cargo vehicular traffic between the four countries.

This BBIN MVA will ease cross-border movement of goods, vehicles and people, thereby helping to expand people-to-people contact, trade and economic exchanges between them.
