In which year will India-Morocco bilateral cooperation complete its 70th anniversary, as noted at the Joint Defence Committee meeting?

  1. A.2026
  2. B.2027
  3. C.2028
  4. D.2030

Correct answer

B. 2027

Explanation

The correct answer is 2027. Both sides noted at the meeting that bilateral cooperation between India and Morocco is moving towards its seventieth anniversary in that year, and they agreed to expand defence ties ahead of the milestone. Option A is the year of the meeting itself, held on 8 September 2026, so an aspirant who reads the question in haste may pick it; the meeting year and the anniversary year are different facts. Option C and option D are years that simply do not appear in the announcement of the meeting, and neither matches the anniversary named there. The safe way to revise this story is to keep three years apart in the memory: the defence memorandum was signed during the Defence Minister's visit to Morocco in September 2025, the first Joint Defence Committee meeting fell in 2026, and the seventieth anniversary of cooperation arrives in 2027.
