Who is Lieutenant General Petr Cepelka, named in the Army Chief's programme in the Czech Republic?
- A.Minister of Defence of the Czech Republic
- B.First Deputy Chief of the General Staff and Deputy Chief of Defence
- C.Commandant of the Defence University, Brno
- D.Director of the NATO CBRN Defence Centre of Excellence
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is First Deputy Chief of the General Staff and Deputy Chief of Defence, the appointment held by Lieutenant General Petr Cepelka, with whom the Indian Army Chief holds discussions at the General Staff Headquarters in Prague. Option A is wrong because he is a serving military officer and not the political head of the defence ministry, though the Army Chief does call on senior officials of that ministry separately. Option C and option D attach him to the two institutions on the itinerary, the Defence University at Brno and the NATO Joint CBRN Defence Centre of Excellence, which are visits on the programme rather than his office. The talks with him are listed as covering military cooperation, training, modernisation and emerging security challenges, the four heads worth remembering as the agenda of the visit.
