Chief of the Army Staff General Dhiraj Seth is on an official visit to which country from 16 to 19 November 2026?

  1. A.Poland
  2. B.Czech Republic
  3. C.Slovakia
  4. D.Hungary

Correct answer

B. Czech Republic

Explanation

The correct answer is the Czech Republic. The Army Chief left for the visit on 15 November 2026 and the programme runs from 16 to 19 November 2026, with the aims of firmer bilateral defence cooperation, closer engagement between the two armies and cooperation in defence technology and industry. Option A, option C and option D name other countries of central Europe, which is why they are easy to confuse here, and Slovakia in particular is tempting because of its shared history with the Czech lands. None of them is the destination on this visit. Two place names anchor the answer: Prague, where the Army Chief holds talks at the General Staff Headquarters and lays a wreath for fallen soldiers, and Brno, where the Defence University is located. The visit also takes him to the NATO Joint Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defence Centre of Excellence.
