Q106 (IAS/2009) International Relations & Global Affairs › International Organisations & Groupings › International organisation headquarters Answer Verified

Consider the following pairs: 1. Asian Development Bank: Tokyo 2. Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation :Singapore 3. Association of South East Asian Nations :Bangkok Which of the above pairs is/are correct matchd?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

Only pair 2 is correctly matched. The Asian Development Bank’s headquarters are in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines (not Tokyo), so pair 1 is incorrect [1]. The APEC Secretariat is based in Singapore, making pair 2 correct [2]. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat is located in Jakarta, Indonesia, not Bangkok, so pair 3 is incorrect. Consequently, only the second pairing (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation : Singapore) is correct; answer option 2 (“2 only”) is therefore the right choice.
