The compendium of DRDO products released at the event was brought out in which languages?
- A.Russian, German and Japanese
- B.Arabic, Spanish and French
- C.Arabic, Portuguese and Russian
- D.French, German and Korean
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Arabic, Spanish and French. The Minister of State for Defence released a foreign-language compendium of DRDO products in these three languages so that partner nations which do not work in English can follow India's defence offerings and engage with Indian agencies more easily. The choice of languages points to the markets India is courting, across West Asia and North Africa for Arabic, Latin America and Spain for Spanish, and parts of Africa and Europe for French. Options A, C and D bring in Russian, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Korean, none of which was part of this release. A related fact worth remembering from the same event is that formal invitations are being sent to counterparts abroad for Aero India 2027, which is to be held at Bengaluru.
