Which one of the following statements regarding the Association of South East Asian National (ASEAN) is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3. This statement is incorrect because India is currently a Full Dialogue Partner of ASEAN, not merely a sectoral dialogue partner.

  • Evolution of India-ASEAN Ties: India became a Sectoral Dialogue Partner in 1992. However, its status was upgraded to a Full Dialogue Partner in 1995, and further to a Strategic Partner in 2012. Therefore, calling India a "sectoral dialogue partner" in the present context is factually inaccurate.
  • Option 1 and 2: These are correct. ASEAN was established on August 8, 1967, via the Bangkok Declaration. The five founding members (Original Members) were Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.
  • Option 4: This is also correct. Currently, ASEAN consists of ten permanent member states: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. (Note: Timor-Leste holds observer status).

Since the question asks for the not correct statement, Option 3 is the right choice.
