On which date will the Secretaries of the delegations meet to finalise the Joint Statement of the 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum?

  1. A.22 October 2026
  2. B.25 October 2026
  3. C.26 October 2026
  4. D.27 October 2026

Correct answer

B. 25 October 2026

Explanation

The correct answer is 25 October 2026, the day before the forum opens, when the Secretaries of the delegations will meet to finalise the Joint Statement. Option A, 22 October 2026, is the day the Lok Sabha Speaker held his press conference in Parliament House to announce the programme, not the day of the Secretaries' meeting. Option C, 26 October, is the opening day of the forum, when the inaugural session takes place and the Prime Minister is to meet the leaders of the visiting delegations. Option D, 27 October, is the concluding day. Keeping this short calendar straight is useful, because questions on summits hosted by India often test the difference between the preparatory meeting, the inaugural day and the closing day.
