Which of the following countries is not a member of ASEAN?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

ASEAN, or the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, is a regional organization comprising countries in Southeast Asia that promotes economic, political, and security cooperation among its members.

Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam are all Southeast Asian nations and have been members of ASEAN since the 1990s.

Laos joined ASEAN in 1997, Cambodia in 1999, and Vietnam in 1995, making them full-fledged members of the organization.

On the other hand, North Korea is located in East Asia, not Southeast Asia, and is not a member of ASEAN.

North Korea has a distinct political and diplomatic stance, often aligning itself differently on the global stage, and it does not participate in this Southeast Asian bloc.
