CAPF AC 2025 Q2: Current Affairs – International Relations & Treaties
- (a) Action Plan 2023-27
- (b) Action Plan 2022-26
- (c) Action Plan 2024-28
- (d) Action Plan 2025-29
Answer: (c) Action Plan 2024-28
Explanation
India-Poland Strategic Partnership
How to think: the partnership was announced during Prime Minister Modi's visit to Warsaw in August 2024, the first visit to Poland by an Indian PM in 45 years.
The five-year plan therefore starts in 2024 and runs to 2028.
| Option | Starting year | Fits the August 2024 launch? |
|---|---|---|
| 2022-26 | 2022 | No, before the upgrade of ties |
| 2023-27 | 2023 | No |
| 2024-28 | 2024 | Yes |
| 2025-29 | 2025 | No, a year too late |
Modi and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk agreed on 22 August 2024 to raise ties to a Strategic Partnership.
The year 2024 also marked 70 years of India-Poland diplomatic relations.
Answer: (c) Action Plan 2024-28.
Why each option is right or wrong
- (a) Incorrect. A 2023-27 plan would have started before the partnership existed.
- (b) Incorrect. 2022-26 is far too early.
- (c) CORRECT. The plan for the Strategic Partnership covers 2024-2028.
- (d) Incorrect. 2025-29 starts a year after the August 2024 agreement.
Key point
India-Poland: Strategic Partnership declared 22 August 2024 (Modi-Tusk, Warsaw); Action Plan 2024-2028; 70 years of diplomatic ties; first Indian PM visit to Poland in 45 years.
Remember
Modi in Warsaw, August 2024: Action Plan 2024-28.
Common mistakes
- Picking a plan that begins in 2025 because the question is from the 2025 paper.
- Mixing up the year of the visit (2024) with the year of the paper.
- Not noticing that a five-year plan means the end year is the start plus four.
Exam tip
Educated guess: a five-year plan signed in August 2024 starts in 2024. Only (c) begins in 2024.
