Modi's Three Pronged Strategy for South Asia Revealed at SAARC Summit


This leads us to the point number three mentioned upfront: Modi’s strategy of countering China’s influence in SAARC. Pakistan has consistently blocked efforts to seamless travel and trade within the entire SAARC region and will always continue to do so. SAARC cannot emulate EU till India-Pakistan relations are normalized, the chances of which are bleak.

Modi wants to lead the infrastructural connectivity push in SAARC to reduce China’s influence. Understandably from Pakistan’s perspective this is a big no-no and that’s why China’s all-weather friend is opposing seamless travel plans in SAARC.
