Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Ms Katherina Reiche, the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy. She and Shri Piyush Goyal held a bilateral meeting in Berlin on industrial collaboration and the potential of the India-European Union Free Trade Agreement, and they jointly inaugurated the India Centre at DGAP, which is meant to promote policy research and dialogue on India-Germany relations. Option B is wrong because Mr Martin Blessing is the German Chancellor’s Personal Representative for Investment, who shared the Berlin Global Dialogue panel with the minister. Option C is wrong because Ms Emma Marcegaglia is Chairwoman and CEO of Marcegaglia Steel and was also a panellist. Option D is wrong because Dr Tan See Leng is Singapore’s Minister for Manpower and Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science and Technology, another participant in the same panel discussion.
