Q1. Assertion (A): On 17 May 2026, India and Sweden elevated their bilateral ties to a Strategic Partnership.\nReason (R): Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson adopted the India-Sweden Joint Action Plan 2026-2030 built on four pillars.\nSelect the correct answer using the codes below:
Explanation
Both the Assertion and Reason are factually true. India and Sweden did elevate ties to a Strategic Partnership on 17 May 2026, and the leaders adopted the Joint Action Plan 2026-2030 with four pillars. However, the Joint Action Plan is an operational outcome of the partnership rather than the cause for the elevation itself, so R is not the correct explanation of A.
