In the region
Lahore, Jan.27 (ANI): Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has urged India not to speed up the arms race in the region.
In an interview with a Turkish media house, Zardari, while raising concerns over the 30 percent increase in India's defence budget following the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, said South Asian countries should focus on humanitarian issues rather than building armies and piling up devastating weapons.
"Countries in the region should focus on eradicating poverty and addressing humanitarian issues rather than building armies," The Daily Times quoted Zardari, as saying.

Could you please explain to me what "region" means in this context?
Does it mean "in India"?

I say "South Asia," only because the phrase, "....South Asian countries should focus on humanitarian issues...", that follows the remark.
