In December 2017, India was admitted as a member of Wassenaar Arrangement, an elite arms export control regime, similar to NSG and MTCR. Which one of the following is not a member of the Wassenaar Arrangement ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) is a multilateral export control regime established in 1996 to promote transparency and greater responsibility in transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies. India officially became the 42nd participating state in December 2017.

  • USA, Australia, and Italy are all prominent members of the arrangement.
  • China is not a member of the Wassenaar Arrangement. While China is a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), it is notably absent from the other three major export control regimes: the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), and the Australia Group.

India's admission to the WA was seen as a significant step in its integration into global non-proliferation architectures and helps in accessing high-end dual-use technologies.
