- A.Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic
- B.Poland, Austria, Hungary and Slovenia
- C.Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia
- D.Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The joint statement names these four as the members of the Visegrad Group, often written as V4, and both leaders welcomed the first foreign ministers' meeting held between India and the group. They also committed themselves to the V4 plus India format for future cooperation. Option C lists the three Baltic states with Poland, which is a different set of countries and not the Visegrad Group. Options B and D mix in Austria, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia, none of which belongs to the group. For the examination, link the Visegrad Group to central Europe and remember that Poland used the visit to present itself as a gateway for Indian business into central and eastern Europe.
