Nepal’s Prime Minister Sushil Koirala officially proposed to hold the 18th SAARC Summit in Kathmandu on 14th November. The date is subject to approval by SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) member states that include India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
This is the third time the country is hosting the event since the establishment of eight-member regional grouping in 1985. Nepal had last hosted the 11th SAARC Summit in January 2002 and 3rd Summit in November 1987.
The 17th SAARC summit was held in Maldives in 2011.
