During the October 2026 visit, Poland announced that it was joining which India-linked platform?

  1. A.International Solar Alliance
  2. B.Global Biofuels Alliance
  3. C.Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure
  4. D.Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative

Correct answer

C. Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure

Explanation

The correct answer is the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, usually shortened to CDRI. India welcomed Poland's announcement of joining it, and the outcome is listed under the area of disaster management. The other three options are all real bodies mentioned in the same joint statement, but in a different role: India merely invited Poland to join the International Solar Alliance and the Global Biofuels Alliance, both named in the paragraph on climate and clean energy, and separately invited Poland to join the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative in the paragraph on the Indo-Pacific. An invitation is not the same as membership, so options A, B and D are wrong. This is the kind of fine distinction examiners like: read whether a country has joined a grouping or has only been asked to join it.
