Who among the following is not an observer country of the SAARC? Correct Answer Canada

South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC)

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) was established with the signing of the SAARC Charter in Dhaka on 8 December 1985.

  • The idea of regional cooperation in South Asia was first raised in November 1980. After consultations, the foreign secretaries of the seven founding countries—Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka—met for the first time in Colombo in April 1981.
  • Afghanistan became the newest member of SAARC at the 13th annual summit in 2005.
  • The Headquarters and Secretariat of the Association are at Kathmandu, Nepal.

There are currently nine Observers to SAARC, namely:

  1. Australia;
  2. China;
  3. the European Union;
  4. Iran;
  5. Japan;
  6. the Republic of Korea;
  7. Mauritius;
  8. Myanmar; and
  9. the United States of America.

Therefore, Canada is not an observer country of the SAARC.
