Cooperation between SAARC and ASEAN

Consultations between the two Organisations were initiated in New York in 1997 and have taken place in 1998 and 2001. Modalities for future cooperation being discussed include:

- Regular consultations on UN and multilateral issues including on elective posts;
- Sharing of expertise and experience including on poverty alleviation programmes;
- Common approaches against terrorism;
- Academic exchanges;
- Programmes to combat HIV/AIDS;
- Encouraging cooperation between ASEAN and SAARC Chambers of Commerce;
- Encouraging people-to-people contact; and
- Closer Secretariat-to-Secretariat consultations.

The two Associations have agreed on the need to identify tangible cooperation proposals and advised the Secretaries-General of the two Organisations to consult with each other in this regard.
