✦AI Summary
The Maldives is attempting to revive the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) to foster regional stability and economic growth. However, experts suggest the initiative is unlikely to succeed due to the ongoing geopolitical deadlock between India and Pakistan.
The Maldives recently called to revive a South Asian grouping, which has been suspended for over a decade. But given the tensions between two of the most influential countries in that region – India and Pakistan – that request is likely to go unheeded, according to observers.
