The Fourteenth South Asia Economic Summit (SAES XIV) was organised in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 4-5 November 2023, in continuation of the preceding thirteen SAES events hosted by rotation of the co-organisers. The overarching theme of the SAES XIV was ‘Reframing South Asian Regional Cooperation in the New Context: National and Global Dimensions’. Within this broad theme, the Summit focused on specific issues of regional cooperation and development in South Asia.
Objective of SAES is to advance the cause of regional integration in South Asia through discussions and deliberations by stakeholders on key issues of interest and concern to countries and people of the region. The vision is a gradual evolution of SAES into a South Asian Davos. SAES events are conceived as opportunities to bring together key stakeholders to contribute to South Asian cooperation through exchange of evidence-based knowledge and innovative ideas.
