Which country was the partner country at the 14th India Chem held in Mumbai?
- A.The United States
- B.Germany
- C.Japan
- D.The Republic of Korea
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Japan. Japan was the partner country at the 14th India Chem, and the release notes that India shares a strong trade relationship with it in the chemicals and petrochemicals sector in particular. Option A is wrong because the United States took part only through the India-USA chemicals and petrochemicals forum, one of three such forums at the event, and American delegates were among the international participants; being a participating country is not the same as being the designated partner country. Option B is wrong because Germany was not named as partner country; German participation would come under the countries of the European Union, which held the India-EU forum. Option D is wrong because the Republic of Korea was listed among the countries whose delegates attended, along with Canada, the United Kingdom, Latin American nations and the ASEAN countries. Candidates should remember the pairing of the partner country Japan with the theme Advantage Bharat for this edition.
