Abstract
Pakistan’s foreign policy machinery has come under direct fire for its inefficiency
to perform well on multiple fronts. Among various challenges that Pakistan’s
foreign policy apparatus is facing today, an important one is the cancellation of
SAARC Summit. India’s attempt to sabotage the Summit Conference of SAARC,
which was planned to be held in Pakistan in November, 2016 is a clear deviation
from her own professed goals of peace, prosperity and stability in the region. The
cancellation of SAARC Summit is considered as Pakistan’s diplomatic defeat and
foreign policy failure. On the other hand the organization’s activities have also
been remained sluggish and frustratingly slow in the last 30 years of its existence.
Since its establishment, lots of government level meeting of SAARC have been held
and plenty of agreements have been signed but produced hardly any remarkable
outcome. This study is focusing on the strength and weaknesses of SAARC and will
try to address the questions.What factors are responsible for the cancellation of
SAARC Summit in Pakistan? Is SAARC is going towards its dissolution?
