Abstract
SAARC is a regional organization of South Asian countries. It was established to improve trade
relation among member countries and also solve regional issues and regional problems. SAARC
provides a platform to make collective strategy to tackle climate change, water and food
shortages. The member countries can negotiate on different issues of region from the platform of
SAARC. This region of South Asia is facing many issues now days and the major issues are
terrorism, water issues, health issues, climate issues and also trade issues. The trade among
member countries is very low and trade unions facing many problems and terrorism and terrorist
activities are increasing day by day. Water is also becoming the major threat for the future of
South Asian people. Due to all these problems and to not solve these issues SAARC is becoming
a weak organization to solve regional issues but there are some factors which are also responsible
for the failure of SAARC and one the most important factor is the clash between India and
Pakistan. SAARC cannot solve the regional issues due to lake of trust among member countries
and due to all these aspects people of South Asia facing many current and future's threats of their
survival. Despite that SAARC is becoming weak organization by not solving the major issues of
the regional states but somehow trade improves between India and Pakistan from the platform of
SAARC. This paper tends to find the trade volume between India and Pakistan and would also
find that what are the reasons behind the low trade volume between India and Pakistan.
