South Asia’s Whispering Enemies
Last week's South Asian regional-cooperation summit was predictably disappointing, given unmet expectations for the meeting between the Indian and Pakistani prime ministers on the sidelines of the main event. While relations between the region's two largest economies have improved slightly over the past 18 months, no new initiatives were offered.

ISLAMABAD – The leaders of the member countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation met last week in the Maldives for their 17th annual summit. Previous SAARC summits achieved little in the way of regional cooperation. If they are remembered at all, it is for the progress made in getting India and Pakistan to talk to each another. While this time was no different, there are growing signs of a thaw in relations.
