As of 31st July 2025, which of the following country is the member of SAARC?
Afghanistan
The question asks which of the four listed countries is a member of SAARC as of 31 July 2025.
SAARC, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, was established in Dhaka in 1985 to promote economic and regional integration among the countries of South Asia; its permanent secretariat is at Kathmandu, Nepal.
It has eight member states: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, with Afghanistan having joined as the eighth member in 2007.
Among the options, only Afghanistan lies in the South Asian region and belongs to this bloc.
Iraq and the UAE are West Asian (Gulf/Middle East) nations, and Egypt is a North African/Arab state; all three are geographically and politically outside South Asia, so none is a SAARC member.
Therefore the SAARC member among the options is Afghanistan.
