Who co-chaired the Seventh High-Level Meeting of the OPEC-India Energy Dialogue along with OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais?
- A.Piyush Goyal
- B.Hardeep Singh Puri
- C.Nirmala Sitharaman
- D.Pralhad Joshi
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Hardeep Singh Puri. The meeting was co-chaired by Hardeep Singh Puri, India's Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, and by the OPEC Secretary General. Since the dialogue is about oil markets, energy security and investment in the oil industry, the Indian co-chair is the minister who holds the petroleum portfolio, and that is the link to remember. Piyush Goyal is wrong because the commerce and industry portfolio is not the one that leads this dialogue. Nirmala Sitharaman is wrong because the finance ministry did not lead this engagement, even though energy prices affect the economy. Pralhad Joshi is wrong as the release names only the petroleum minister as the Indian co-chair. Questions on ministerial dialogues usually turn on matching the subject of the dialogue with the correct portfolio.
