Nepali Foreign Minister Dr Bhekh B Thapa (L) hands over the chairmanship of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) to his Pakistani counterpart Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri (C) in Islamabad yesterday. The seven-nation Saarc, holding its 12th summit in Islamabad from January 4, was founded in 1985 in the Bangladesh capital Dhaka to promote economic cooperation in the heavily militarised and poverty-ridden region.
