regional groupings are today one of the building blocks of the global order. Their driving force and commonality are perhaps the most obvious of all.
Jaishankar said they hope to partially remedy the absence of vibrant Saarc through the BBIN sub-regional grouping. It's also our expectation that the current level of enthusiasm among members of BIMSTEC can be channeled towards more far-reaching initiatives.
