India is a member of which of the following?

1. Asia-Pacific economic corporation.

2. Association of South-East Asian Nations.

3. East Asia Summit.

Select the correct Answer using the code given below:

The correct option is 3 only.

Let's analyze India's membership status in each of the mentioned organizations to understand why this option is correct:
1. Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC):
APEC is a regional economic forum established in 1989 to leverage the growing interdependence of the Asia-Pacific. Currently, it has 21 member economies. India is not a member of APEC. Although India has expressed interest in joining and is an observer state, it has not yet been granted full membership. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.
2. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN):
ASEAN is a regional grouping that promotes economic, political, and security cooperation among its ten members in Southeast Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam). India is a key dialogue partner of ASEAN but is not a member country, as membership is geographically restricted to Southeast Asian nations. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect.
3. East Asia Summit (EAS):
The East Asia Summit is a premier forum for strategic dialogue and cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region. It comprises 18 member countries, which include the 10 ASEAN member states along with 8 dialogue partners: Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Russia, and the United States. India is a founding member of the East Asia Summit. Therefore, statement 3 is correct.

Thus, out of the three organizations listed, India is a member of only the East Asia Summit (3 only).
