The South Asian Free Trade Area or SAFTA is a pact signed in 6 January 2004 that would gradually eliminate most tariffs and other trade barriers on products and services passing between Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. The pact would effectively create a free-trade bloc among the eight countries of South Asia.
