3. East Asia Summit (EAS): India is one of the 18 member countries of the East Asia Summit. The EAS is a premier forum for strategic dialogue and cooperation on political, security, and economic issues of common regional concern.
Therefore, among the given options, India is only a member of the East Asia Summit.
