Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO), was founded in the period following the Second World War, by eight countries which include the United States, Australia, New Zealand, France, Great Britain, Pakistan, the Philippines and Thailand. Officials of the United States viewed the location of Southeast Asia to be a significant frontier in the struggle against communist expansion. As we can see there are only two South Asian countries in the organization and the reason for their presence lies internal to each country instead of international concern.
