Which city hosted the G20 Energy Abundance Ministerial Meeting attended by India from 14 to 16 September 2026?
- A.Washington DC
- B.Houston
- C.Johannesburg
- D.Rio de Janeiro
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Houston. The ministerial was held in that American city under the United States presidency of the G20, and the Indian delegation was led by the Union Minister for Power and Housing and Urban Affairs. Option A is wrong because the American capital was not the venue, even though the meeting was held in the United States; venue questions are usually set precisely to catch candidates who remember only the country. Option C is wrong because Johannesburg belongs to an earlier G20 presidency held by South Africa. Option D is wrong because Rio de Janeiro is associated with Brazil's presidency. Remember the three pillars of the discussion as well: energy security and affordable baseload, permitting and regulatory efficiency, and critical minerals with resilient supply chains.
