In a major embarassment for Pakistan, the Saarc chair in Nepal has called for a new venue to hold the Summit after India, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan refused to attend the event in Islamabad, citing increase in terrorism leading to "deterioration of regional peace and security" in the region.
The Summit will be postponed because all nations have to be in attendance for the event to take place, according to the new rules.
