Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the 23rd ASEAN-India Summit in which city?
- A.Jakarta
- B.Manila
- C.Hanoi
- D.Kuala Lumpur
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Manila. The Prime Minister will travel to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, from 16 to 17 November 2026, on an invitation from Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., President of the Republic of the Philippines. The 23rd ASEAN-India Summit and the 21st East Asia Summit are both being held there on 17 November 2026, and the Philippines is hosting them because it holds the ASEAN Chair for 2026. Jakarta is wrong because Indonesia is not the chair this year and no leaders meeting of this round is being convened there. Hanoi is wrong for the same reason: Vietnam is not the host of these two summits, and the announcement names only Manila as the destination of the visit. Kuala Lumpur is wrong because Malaysia is not hosting the summits that the Prime Minister will attend during these two days. Students should link the city, the dates and the two summit editions together, because question papers usually combine the venue with the edition number.
