Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, congratulated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was re-elected President of which country?
- A.Argentina
- B.Brazil
- C.Chile
- D.Peru
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Brazil. Mr. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won the presidential election in Brazil, and the Prime Minister of India sent him his heartiest congratulations on 26 October 2026, calling the result a remarkable re-election victory. The greeting went on to speak of the multifaceted India-Brazil Strategic Partnership, which fixes the country beyond doubt, and of working closely with the returning President to deepen and expand it. Option A, Argentina, option C, Chile, and option D, Peru, are other large South American states, but none of them is the country named in this message; the partnership the Prime Minister undertook to strengthen is the one between India and Brazil alone. Candidates should learn the pairing of leader and country together, since question papers commonly keep the name and change the nation, or keep the nation and change the office.
