Boost Agro Cooperation

In an increasingly globalised world, cooperation and collaboration among countries have become a necessity to achieve their interests. And at a time when punitive heat as a result of climate change is threatening to make living in many countries harder and harder and also straining global food security, the importance of such joint efforts has grown in urgency. This need explains why the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) was formed. In an effort to live up to the commitment of the South Asian regional organisation, a policy round-table meeting on effective implementation of the Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) among SAARC member states with discussions centred on agriculture kicked off in Kathmandu on Wednesday.
