Mr Levin Holle, whom the Commerce Minister met at the German Federal Chancellery, holds which position?
- A.Federal Minister for Economic Affairs of Germany
- B.Economic and Financial Policy Advisor and G7/G20 Sherpa
- C.President of the German Federal Bank
- D.Germany’s Ambassador to India
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Economic and Financial Policy Advisor and G7/G20 Sherpa. Mr Levin Holle holds that position at the German Federal Chancellery, where the bilateral meeting took place, and the discussion covered economic cooperation and the strengthening of economic and investment ties between India and Germany. Option A, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, is wrong because no such ministerial counterpart is named in connection with this meeting. Option C, President of the German Federal Bank, is wrong and belongs to the central banking system rather than the Chancellery. Option D, Germany’s Ambassador to India, is wrong because the meeting was held in Berlin at the Chancellery and not with a diplomatic envoy. The term Sherpa is worth learning in its own right: a Sherpa is the senior official who prepares a leader’s participation in summit diplomacy, and this one covers both the G7 and the G20, which makes the designation useful in questions on international groupings.
