Bangladesh took the initiative to from this association in 1977. Our late President Ziaur Rahman visited Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri-Lanka in 1977-80,for the same purpose. Then there were a number of meeting and conferences among the heads of the seven states until it was set up in 1985.
The final achievement of defferent eforts taken by Bangladesh was the first summit meeting in Dhaka on 7-8 December in 1985.This summit conference was inaugurated by Lt. Genaral Hossain Mohammad Ershad ,the former President of Bangladesh.in this conference the heads of the seven states adopted a 14-point declaration which is called the historic ' Dhaka Declaration' .It was also decided that Hossain Mohammad Ershad would work as the first chairman till its second summit in New Delhi.
Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives,Nepal, Pakistan and Sri-Lanka are the seven states of South Asia.
Bangladesh ,India and Pakistan were one country untill 1947.Nepal and Bhutan lie very close to these there countries.They are many similarities among these seven countries in their people and there soci-economic condition.Again, they are defferent from each other in size, population, resources, level of development and form of government.
Seven neighbouring countries are associated through SAARC so that they can co-operative with one another
