Where are the headquarters of the Asian-Pacific Postal Union?
- A.Bern
- B.Singapore
- C.Bangkok
- D.New Delhi
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Bangkok. The release describes the Asian-Pacific Postal Union as an inter-governmental organisation headquartered in Bangkok with 32 member countries, and it was in Bangkok that the 14th Congress met on 4 September 2026 and re-elected its Secretary-General. Option A is the strongest distractor for anyone who has studied international organisations, because Bern is the seat of the Universal Postal Union, the United Nations specialised agency of which the APPU is a Regional Union. Keep the two cities apart: Bern for the global body, Bangkok for the Asia-Pacific regional one. Options B and D are not mentioned in the release. Remember the membership figure of 32 as well, since it is the kind of small, checkable number that examiners like to place against an organisation's name.
