Before I share my views on this question, let me offer a few thoughts on the process of decision-making that should be followed by the leaders of South Asia in order to bring about the paradigm shift I have talked about. Each country must begin by preparing a long-term vision and the road map to translate this vision into action with milestones and timelines.
This vision and road map must have a non-partisan and national consensus and all political parties must be agreed and committed to the broad thrust and the direction of the economy.
