Which one of the following groups of countries consists of the members of Mekong-Ganga Cooperation (MGC) ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

The Mekong-Ganga Cooperation (MGC) is a regional initiative launched in November 2000 at Vientiane, Lao PDR. It comprises six member countries: India and five ASEAN nations, namely Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The cooperation is named after the two iconic rivers of the region—the Ganga and the Mekong.

The MGC focuses on six priority areas of cooperation: tourism, culture, education, transport and communications, health and traditional medicine, and agriculture and allied sectors. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are not members of the MGC; they are members of other regional groupings like BIMSTEC. Therefore, Option A is the only correct list of member states.
