SAARC is such an organization.

SAARC member countries are Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Maldives, Bhutan and Srilanka. Recently Afganistan has been recognized as the eight members of SAARC nation.

Formation And History: SAARC is the brain child of Late President of Bangladesh, Ziaur Rahman. In order to form a co-operative family of Bangladeshis neighbor countries, he toured the seven countries in 1980 and tried to convince the head of the states to come under the same umbrella where they work to solve their common problems. His dreams finally came into being in 1981 when the foreign secretaries of seven countries met in Colombo to decide the field of co-operation. Agriculture, rural developments, tele-communications, weather, health and family planning, poverty alleviation and scientific development were set as the fields of co-operation. But it was not until 1985 that SAARC started its marching steps ahead.
