Explanation:
India is a member of the East Asia Summit (EAS). The East Asia Summit is a regional forum comprising 18 member countries, including the ten ASEAN member states and eight other countries, including India. The EAS provides a platform for discussions on political, economic, and strategic issues in the Asia-Pacific region. India became a member of the EAS in 2005.
However, India is not a member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) or the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). APEC is an organization consisting of 21 member economies, primarily focused on promoting free trade and economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. ASEAN is a regional organization comprising ten Southeast Asian countries, aimed at fostering regional integration, cooperation, and economic development.
