India finally succeeded in his one of plans against Pakistan, but postponing this conference might not only oppose Pakistan's progress but the whole SAARC countries will suffer.
The upcoming SAARC conference in Islamabad has been postponed, official sources confirmed on Wednesday.
Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said that SAARC secretariat has not yet informed officially about postponement of the conference. He said chances are that SAARC conference will be postponed.
The foreign adviser said whenever the conference takes place, it will be held in Pakistan.
Aziz said that it is not the first time India is not attending the regional summit.
He said that India had earlier also caused the summit to be postponed four times.
Sartaj Aziz said even if one of the member pulls out, the conference cannot go on as per schedule.
The conference was previously scheduled for November 9 and 10.
Earlier, Indian media said that the upcoming SAARC conference in Islamabad will be cancelled.
Indian media claimed that Nepal, which currently chairs the SAARC, is seeking a new venue for the annual summit in November after a number of members decided to boycott the conference in Islamabad.
As chair of the SAARC (South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation), Nepal is trying to move the conference out of Pakistan in an effort to salvage the 19th summit. No summit is held even if one nation does not show up.
In a high-level meeting called by Nepal Prime Minister Prachanda in Kathmandu, it was decided that efforts will be made to reach out to other countries to ensure that the SAARC project goes on.
Afghanistan, Bhutan and India have already pulled out of the conference, citing Pakistan's alleged role in fomenting terror in the region as the reason.
On Tuesday India’s Ministry of External Affairs had confirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not be attending the SAARC summit in Islamabad.
"In the prevailing circumstances the government of India is unable to participate in the proposed summit in Islamabad,” India had said in a statement.
