Q57 (IAS/2015) International Relations & Global Affairs › International Organisations & Groupings › India in multilateralism Official Key

India is a member of which among the following? 1. Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation 2. Association of South-East Asian Nations 3. East Asia Summit Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

India has expressed interest in APEC membership since the mid-1990s but has not been included[1], which means India is not a member of APEC. Regarding ASEAN, ASEAN was formed by Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand in 1967[2], and India is not listed as a member country. While India has economic cooperation with ASEAN through agreements, it is not a member of the organization itself. However, the East Asia Summit is a forum of 18 countries of the Asia-Pacific region (including India)[3], confirming that India is indeed a member of the EAS. Therefore, among the three organizations mentioned, India is only a member of the East Asia Summit, making option B (3 only) the correct answer.

This is a classic 'Membership vs. Partnership' trap. UPSC exploits the confusion between India being a 'Strategic Partner' (ASEAN) or an 'Aspirant' (APEC) versus a full 'Member' (EAS). The strategy is binary: for every major acronym, explicitly tag India as 'Member', 'Observer', or 'Dialogue Partner'—never assume engagement equals membership.

How this question is built

This question can be broken into the following sub-statements. Tap a statement sentence to jump into its detailed analysis.

Why relevant

Contains a multiple-choice question that lists APEC, ASEAN and East Asia Summit (EAS) and asks which India is a member of, implying the textbook treats India’s membership status in APEC as a testable fact.

How to extend

A student could recall or check the intended correct option from the book (or compare with a world/regional membership list) to infer whether India belongs to APEC.

Indian Economy, Nitin Singhania .(ed 2nd 2021-22) > Chapter 18: International Economic Institutions > East Asia Summit (EAS) > p. 550
Strength: 4/5
“• It was established in 2005 for strategic dialogue and cooperation on the key political, o. security and economic challenges facing the Indo-Pacific region.• It is a forum of 18 countries of the Asia-Pacific region (including India). Ò.• Priority areas of EAS include the following six Environment and Energy, Education, \bulletFinance, Global Health Issues and Pandemic Diseases, Natural Disaster Management and ASEAN Connectivity. India endorses regional collaboration in all six priority areas.”
Why relevant

States that the East Asia Summit is a forum of Asia‑Pacific countries 'including India', providing an explicit example of a regional Asia‑Pacific body that does include India.

How to extend

Use this pattern (EAS includes India) to contrast with APEC membership lists: if EAS includes India but APEC’s member list (from a basic external list) does not, that suggests India is not in APEC.

Strength: 3/5
“2. Act East Policy has placed emphasis on India-ASEAN cooperation in our domestic agenda on infrastructure, manufacturing, trade, skills, urban renewal, smart cities, Make in India and other initiatives. • 3 . The objective of "Act East Policy" is to promote economic cooperation , cultural ties and develop strategic relationship with countries in the Asia-Pacific region through continuous engagement at bilateral, regional and multilateral levels.• 4. The North East of India has been a priority in our Act East Policy. The policy provides an interface between North East India including the state of Arunachal Pradesh and the ASEAN region.• 5”
Why relevant

Describes India's 'Act East' policy aimed at engaging the Asia‑Pacific region, showing India’s regional engagement does not equate to membership of every Asia‑Pacific institution.

How to extend

Combine this with a map or list of regional organisations to judge that active engagement (policy) is distinct from formal membership (so India might engage Asia‑Pacific bodies without being an APEC member).

Indian Economy, Nitin Singhania .(ed 2nd 2021-22) > Chapter 18: International Economic Institutions > 2 Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA) > p. 551
Strength: 3/5
“• It was formerly known as the Bangkok Agreement.• APTA intends to promote economic development of its members and adopt mutually beneficial trade liberalization practices for regional trade expansion and economic cooperation. It was signed in 1975.• Members: Bangladesh, China, India, Republic of Korea, Lao PDR, Sri Lanka and Mongolia. \mathcal{O}”
Why relevant

Lists the Asia‑Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA) and explicitly names India as a member, giving an example of a regional Asia‑Pacific trade group that does include India.

How to extend

Compare APTA’s membership (includes India) with APEC’s membership (external list); differing membership patterns across Asia‑Pacific bodies can help test whether India is in APEC.

Indian Economy, Nitin Singhania .(ed 2nd 2021-22) > Chapter 18: International Economic Institutions > Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) > p. 533
Strength: 3/5
“• Established in 1961, it is an organization of 37 countries (mainly high-income economies and having high HDI). • Most recent one to join OECD was Colombia in April 2020. • Its members also include non-European states (such as the United States, Japan, etc.). \bullet • India is not a member of OECD. Though, India is a member of OECD Development Centre. \bullet • Even China is not a member of OECD.”
Why relevant

Notes that India is not a member of OECD despite being a major economy, illustrating that major economies are not automatically members of all international economic institutions.

How to extend

Apply this general rule: India can be excluded from prominent economic groupings; therefore membership in APEC must be checked against membership lists rather than assumed.

Statement 2
Is India a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)?
Origin: Web / Current Affairs Fairness: CA heavy Web-answerable

Web source
Presence: 4/5
"The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was formed by Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand in 1967"
Why this source?
  • Lists the founding members of ASEAN (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand), showing ASEAN is composed of specific Southeast Asian states.
  • By enumerating ASEAN members without India, the passage implies India is not a member.
Web source
Presence: 4/5
"Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)–India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement in 2010."
Why this source?
  • Refers to a distinct 'ASEAN–India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement', indicating India is a separate party entering an agreement with ASEAN.
  • The need for a bilateral/regional agreement between ASEAN and India supports that India is not itself an ASEAN member.

“Locate the ASEAN members on the map. Find the location of the ASEAN Secretariat. Asian alternative by establishing the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). ASEAN was established in 1967 by five countries of this region — Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand — by signing the Bangkok Declaration. The objectives of ASEAN were primarily to accelerate economic growth and through that 'social progress and cultural development'. A secondary objective was to promote regional peace and stability based on the rule of law and the principles of the United Nations Charter. Over the years, Brunei Darussalam, Vietnam, Lao PDR, Myanmar (Burma) and Cambodia joined ASEAN taking its strength to ten.”
Why relevant

Lists the ten ASEAN members (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Cambodia) — defines who belongs to ASEAN.

How to extend

A student could compare this member list with a map or India's location to see India is not among the named ASEAN states.

“Thailand. The ASEAN-India FTA came into effect in 2010. ASEAN's strength, however, lies in its policies of interaction and consultation with member states, with dialogue partners, and with other non-regional organisations. It is the only regional association in Asia that provides a political forum where Asian countries and the major powers can discuss political and security concerns.”
Why relevant

States that the 'ASEAN-India FTA' came into effect in 2010, highlighting a formal relationship between ASEAN and India without implying ASEAN membership.

How to extend

A student can infer that existence of an FTA implies India is a separate partner (not a member) and check membership lists to confirm.

Indian Economy, Vivek Singh (7th ed. 2023-24) > Chapter 13: International Organizations > Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) > p. 394
Strength: 5/5
“Countries in East Asia region have thriving trade and economic relations with each other through free trade agreements. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has free trade agreements with six partners namely China (ACFTA), Republic of Korea (AKFTA), Japan (AJCEP), India (AIFTA) as well as Australia and New Zealand (AANZFTA). In order to broaden and deepen the engagement among parties and to enhance parties' participation in economic development of the region, the leaders of 16 participating countries established the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The RCEP was built upon the existing ASEAN+1 FTAs with the spirit to strengthen economic linkages and to enhance trade and investment related activities as well as to contribute to minimising development gap among the parties.”
Why relevant

Explains ASEAN has separate free-trade agreements with several partners including India (AIFTA), indicating India is an external FTA partner to ASEAN.

How to extend

From the pattern 'ASEAN + partner' FTAs, a student can deduce India is a partner country rather than an internal ASEAN member and then verify member lists.

Contemporary World Politics, Textbook in political science for Class XII (NCERT 2025 ed.) > Chapter 2: Contemporary Centres of Power > Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) > p. 21
Strength: 4/5
“During the Cold War years Indian foreign policy did not pay adequate attention to ASEAN. But in recent years, India has tried to make amends. It signed trade agreements with three ASEAN members, Malaysia, Singapore and Who are the members of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF)? India's 'Look East' Policy since the early 1990s and 'Act East' Policy since 2014 have led to greater economic interaction with the East Asian nations (ASEAN, China, Japan and South Korea).”
Why relevant

Notes India's historical distance from ASEAN during the Cold War and that it later signed trade agreements with individual ASEAN members, implying a non-member relationship.

How to extend

A student could use this pattern (bilateral agreements with members) to reason India engaged with ASEAN countries without being a collective member.

Why relevant

Contains an examination-style question listing organisations (APEC, ASEAN, East Asia Summit) and presents answer choices that separate membership of India from ASEAN membership.

How to extend

A student could treat this as an implicit clue that India is associated with regional groupings (e.g., East Asia Summit) but not listed as ASEAN member and then cross-check current membership lists.

Presence: 4/5
“The Republic of India, the second most populous country and one of the fastest growing economies in the world, is considered as a major power and a potential superpower. It is India's growing international influence that gives it a prominent voice in global affairs. India has a long history of collaboration with several countries and is considered as a leader of the developing world. India was one of the founding members of the United Nations and the Non-Aligned Movement and is an active member of several international organisations, most notably the WTO, ADB, SAARC, G8+5, East Asian Summit, and G20.”
Why this source?
  • Lists 'East Asian Summit' among international organisations India is an active member of.
  • Frames EAS alongside other multilateral bodies, reinforcing India's membership status.
Pattern takeaway: UPSC consistently tests organizations where India's status is ambiguous to the casual reader (active engagement but no voting rights). If India attends the summits but isn't in the acronym's geographic scope (e.g., ASEAN), assume 'Partner' not 'Member' unless proven otherwise.
How you should have studied
  1. [THE VERDICT]: Sitter. Basic International Relations trivia found in Class XII NCERT (Contemporary World Politics) and standard Economy texts (Singhania/Ramesh Singh).
  2. [THE CONCEPTUAL TRIGGER]: India's 'Act East' Policy and the institutional architecture of the Indo-Pacific region.
  3. [THE HORIZONTAL EXPANSION]: Memorize the 'India Status' list: 1. ASEAN: Dialogue Partner (Not Member). 2. APEC: Observer/Aspirant (Not Member). 3. SCO: Full Member (since 2017). 4. MTCR: Member. 5. NSG: Not Member. 6. RCEP: Withdrew. 7. IORA: Founding Member.
  4. [THE STRATEGIC METACOGNITION]: Do not rely on news headlines like 'PM attends ASEAN summit'. The PM attends because India is a 'Summit Level Partner'. Always verify the official member list on the organization's 'About Us' page or Wikipedia sidebar. Geography often dictates membership (e.g., ASEAN is strictly SE Asia).

👉 East Asia Summit (EAS) — membership and scope
💡 The insight

Reference [2] explicitly describes the EAS as a forum of 18 Asia‑Pacific countries and notes India as a member, so understanding EAS is directly relevant when comparing Asia‑Pacific fora.

EAS is frequently tested in polity/IR and economy contexts as a key Asia‑Pacific multilateral platform; mastering its membership, priority areas and role helps answer questions about India's regional engagement and distinguish EAS from other groupings. Prepare by memorizing membership, objectives, and priority areas and linking them to India's foreign policy (Act East).

💡 The insight

Reference [3] describes the Act East Policy's emphasis on India‑ASEAN and broader Asia‑Pacific cooperation, linking India's policy approach to participation in regional forums.

Act East is a high‑yield foreign policy concept for UPSC, connecting domestic development priorities with regional diplomacy; it helps explain why India participates in some Asia‑Pacific multilateral forums (e.g., EAS) even if membership in every forum is not automatic. Prepare by mapping objectives, priority regions (ASEAN/Asia‑Pacific), and institutional linkages (EAS, ASEAN).

👉 ASEAN membership & formation
💡 The insight

The question concerns whether India belongs to ASEAN; references identify ASEAN's founding members and state current membership composition (and explicitly note India's non-membership).

High-yield for UPSC international relations and modern history: knowing ASEAN's founding members, expansion to 10 states, and membership status helps answer questions on regional groups and India's position in Asia. Connects to geopolitics (SE Asia), neighbourhood diplomacy and multilateral groupings.

👉 India–ASEAN economic ties (FTA & 'Look East'/'Act East')
💡 The insight

Although India is not an ASEAN member, the references show India engages with ASEAN through trade agreements (ASEAN-India FTA) and policy initiatives (Look East/Act East).

Useful for questions on trade diplomacy and regional economic integration: distinguishes membership from partner/FTA relationships, links to topics like RCEP and bilateral FTAs. Master by mapping India’s major FTAs, key dates (e.g., ASEAN-India FTA/2010) and policy shifts (Look East → Act East).

💡 The insight

References describe ASEAN's interaction framework (members, dialogue partners, non‑regional organisations), clarifying different types of participation versus full membership.

Conceptually important for UPSC to differentiate membership rights/obligations from dialogue/partnership status; helps answer questions on India’s role in regional forums (East Asia Summit, ARF etc.). Study by listing examples of members vs dialogue partners and noting typical privileges of each category.

🌑 The Hidden Trap

The 'ASEAN+3' grouping. While India is in the East Asia Summit (ASEAN + 6), it is NOT part of 'ASEAN+3' (which is ASEAN + China, Japan, South Korea). This is the next logical trap in this sequence.

⚡ Elimination Cheat Code

Apply the 'Nomenclature Geography' rule. Statement 2 says 'Association of South-East Asian Nations'. India is geographically in 'South Asia', not 'South-East Asia'. Regional blocs like ASEAN or EU are usually strict about geographic contiguity. Therefore, India cannot be a member. Eliminating 2 removes options A and C. You are left with B (3 only) or D (None). Knowing India's 'Act East' focus makes EAS (Statement 3) highly probable.

🔗 Mains Connection

Connects to GS-2 (International Relations - Regional Groupings) and GS-3 (Economy - Supply Chains). India's exclusion from APEC and withdrawal from RCEP forces reliance on bilateral FTAs (CEPA/CECA) to integrate with Asian value chains.
