Consider the following statements 1. India is a member of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum. 2. Russia is a member of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because India is not a member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. APEC currently consists of 21 member economies, including major powers like the United States, China, and Russia, but India has only sought membership and remains an observer or applicant [t3][t5][t9]. Statement 2 is also incorrect; Russia is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). NATO was originally created in 1949 as a collective security alliance against the Soviet Union [t4]. While Russia participated in the NATO-Russia Council in the past, it has never been a member state, and relations have significantly deteriorated following geopolitical conflicts [t6]. Therefore, neither statement is correct. India's 'Act East' policy aims for greater integration with the region, but formal APEC membership has not yet been granted [t5].
