Back in Kathmandu, the new Pakistani envoy to the court of Nepal has freshly arrived to take up his new assignments in Kathmandu.

Since the Pakistani foreign minister too just has talked on the SAARC with Nepali envoy initiated his talks on the SAARC regional body, it is presumed here that the new envoy from Pakistan too will speed up his activities aimed at rejuvenating the almost dormant regional body SAARC when he meets the high officials from the host government.

The current Chair of the SAARC is Nepal and it is the turn of Pakistan to Chair the SAARC regional body, however, none of the countries housed in the SAARC regional body so far have dared to question India as to why it is ( read India) not allowing the SAARC regional body to resume its routine affairs?
