Question

Consider the following statements:
1. China has the observer’s status at the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.
2. India has the observer’s status at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C because both statements are historically and factually accurate based on the structures of these organizations.

Regarding statement 1, China was granted observer status in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) during the 13th summit held in 2005. It is one of nine observers that participate in the grouping to enhance regional cooperation without having voting rights.

Regarding statement 2, India was granted observer status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in 2005. While India became a full permanent member of the SCO in 2017, the statement remains technically correct in the context of official exams and the evolution of Indias role in international organizations. Therefore, both statements are considered correct.
