Explanation

The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) is a regional organization established in 1997 through the Bangkok Declaration. It constitutes a bridge between South and Southeast Asia and represents a reinforcement of relations among the countries of the Bay of Bengal region.

The organization currently comprises seven Member States:

  • Five from South Asia: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
  • Two from Southeast Asia: Myanmar and Thailand.

Indonesia is not a member of BIMSTEC, although it is a prominent member of ASEAN and IORA. Since Thailand, Nepal, and Bhutan are all active members, only statement 4 (Indonesia) is correct as a non-member.
