The 17th South. Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Summit reached fruitful decisions after many discussions during the two day meeting held on November 10 and 11,2011 in Maldives. Its theme was "Building Bridges" - both in terms of physical connectivity and figurative political dialogue.
SAARC member countries agreed to direct the SAFT A (South Asuab Free Trade Agreement) Ministerial Council to intensify efforts to reduce the sensitive list as well as reduce non-tariff barriers to trade, Nasheed said in the closing address.
