In which year will the 10th ASEAN-India Ministerial Meeting on Agriculture and Forestry be convened?
- A.2027
- B.2028
- C.2029
- D.2030
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 2028. The ministers meeting in New Delhi agreed that the next edition of the ministerial, the tenth, will be convened in that year, which keeps the gathering on a two-year cycle. Option A, 2027, is the sort of answer a candidate picks by assuming an annual meeting, and it is worth noting that the working group meets more often than the ministers do. Option C, 2029, has no basis in the decision. Option D, 2030, is the most tempting wrong choice of the three, because the year appears elsewhere in the same news for a different reason: both the ASEAN Food, Agriculture and Forestry Sectoral Plan and the ASEAN-India Medium-Term Plan of Action run over the period from 2026 to 2030. Separate the two while revising, because one is a planning horizon and the other is the date of the next meeting.
