Which assembly is being held within the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit and Expo?
- A.The 5th Assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency
- B.The 9th Assembly of the International Solar Alliance
- C.The 12th Assembly of the World Energy Council
- D.The 7th Assembly of the Global Wind Forum
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the 9th Assembly of the International Solar Alliance. The Prime Minister said it was a happy coincidence that this assembly was taking place inside the summit, and that delegates of the fourth conference on green hydrogen were also in the hall, which widened the scope of the year's event. He tied the Alliance to India's message of One Earth, One Family, One Future and said the intention is to carry funding, technology and expertise for renewable energy to every country that needs it, with an Africa Solar Facility of 200 million dollars proposed for African nations. Option A is wrong because no agency assembly of that description was named at the summit. Option C is wrong because the World Energy Council was not mentioned in connection with this gathering. Option D is wrong because no wind forum assembly formed part of the summit programme.
