India is NOT a member of which of the following regional intergovernmental organizations?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> India is a founding member of BIMSTEC since 1997, which promotes cooperation among South and Southeast Asian countries around the Bay of Bengal.

Option 2 -> India is not a member of ASEAN. ASEAN consists of 10 Southeast Asian nations, and India maintains a separate strategic partnership status with the bloc.

Option 3 -> India became a full member of SCO in 2017, joining this Eurasian political, economic, and security organization alongside Pakistan.

Option 4 -> India is a founding member of SAARC since 1985, which promotes cooperation among South Asian countries.


Hence, Option 2: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) -> While India has significant engagement with ASEAN as a dialogue partner and participates in ASEAN+1 and East Asia Summit mechanisms, it is not a full member state of ASEAN. ASEAN membership is limited to ten Southeast Asian countries. -> correct
