The India-Ethiopia Joint Defence Cooperation mechanism flows from a Defence Cooperation MoU signed in which month and year?
- A.February 2025
- B.October 2025
- C.December 2025
- D.January 2026
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is February 2025, when the defence ministers of the two countries signed the Defence Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding that set up the standing mechanism for these consultations. Option B is wrong because that is when the first meeting under the mechanism was held, in New Delhi; the agreement came first and the meeting followed from it. Option C is wrong because that is when the Prime Minister of India visited Ethiopia and the two countries raised their relationship to the level of a Strategic Partnership, a separate milestone. Option D is wrong because no step in this sequence falls in that month. Aspirants should keep the order clear: the memorandum, then the first round of talks, then the elevation of ties, and now the second round in the Ethiopian capital.
