Khaleda wants China in SAARC

[Maira La]

Think outside the box guys. SAARC is useless! India can survive without SAARC. Furthermore, no organization can do anything worthwhile with both India and Pakistan on board!

It's time to form a smaller, more effective economic block. If central gov in Delhi is willing to empower the provincial govs to take their own decisions related to international trade, we can form a little regional block (aka association for economic cooperation) here (let's call it NNEIBBAEC for now), consisting of Nepal, NE States (each state as a separate entity), WB, BD, Bhutan. Later on, we can pull Arakan of Myanmar and Yunan province of China into NNEIBB(YA)AEC D) if the suitable geopolitical atmosphere exists. This is our region! Decision making will be quicker, because now we don't have to discuss Kashmir issue every freakin time!

Well, her husband first got the idea of SAARC So it's a mission for her.

China is an observer state. Although, I doubt if it'd be in India's interests as far as China being a member of SAARC goes.

Even Japan is an observer and EU too wants an observer status. That doesn’t mean they can become members of SAARC.

Even Sri Lanka is proposing a similar trade block with the four southern states of India. Personally, I like this idea.

I think China may not reject it if they grant its membership.

Since geographically, there is no clear borderline between Tibet and South Asia.

Its a great move by Khaleda, Pakistan should support her..

Yes it's good for India too. Then we won't be blaming India for all our problems. All our fingers would be pointing at WB.

Our chubby Mamata can no longer use communication gap as an excuse to avoid taking her share of regional responsibilities.

I like the idea because it will help NE states develop fast.

The best thing, all decisions will be taken very quickly! MoUs and multilateral treaties don't have to go through the central gov in India just to get stuck in bureaucratic tangles and wider Indian politics (they already have too much in hand!). And same advantage for China's Yunnan province and Myanmar's Arakan if they ever wish to join the block!

Dont get me wrong, but what is the point of getting more and more big buddies in Saarc when we have not been able to do anything so far? I mean, how is it helping Saarc?

The big buddies are financially strong and they have new technology. Furthermore, they do not have much issues with us. Thus their inclusion will help this group. For example, china, turkey can help bd set up high end factories, which bd has a lot of difficulty setting them up alone.

China is not a part of South Asia. So where is the question of China joining SAARC arise. Anyway SAARC is a useless organization.

Agar Useless Hi, Toh Bharat Kiyun Hai Abhi Taak ? Hamein Toh Nahin Lagta Kay Without
Any Reason , India SAARC Mein Hain ... ...
