Bangladeshi policemen guard the Zia Inte

DHAKA, BANGLADESH: Bangladeshi policemen guard the Zia International Airport in Dhaka, 09 November 2005, as part of tightened security measures taken ahead of the 13th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperations (SAARC) summit. The future of a south Asian free trade deal -- considered the best hope of a better living for millions of poor -- hinges on the two-day SAARC meeting of the region's seven leaders in Dhaka to be held on 12-13 November, analysts and officials say. The seven countries, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, represented at the SAARC summit are home to 1.4 billion people, and 60 percent of the world's poor.
