International Relations Mixed Practice — MCQs with Answers (Set 11)

The answer is upper-middle-income. The World Bank Group reclassified Vietnam in July 2026. Its GDP per capita was US$5,066 in 2025. Why the others fail: low-income and lower-middle-income are groups Vietnam has moved beyond. High-income is Vietnam’s goal for 2045, not its group today. Memory hook: upper-middle now, high-income by 2045.

The answer is 1986. Doi Moi was launched at the sixth National Congress of the Communist Party. It moved Vietnam from a subsidy-based system to a socialist-oriented market economy. Why the others fail: 1976, 1996 and 2007 are not the year either source gives for Doi Moi. In July 2007 Vietnam and India formed a Strategic Partnership, which is a different event. Memory hook: Doi Moi is 1986.

The answer is US$25 billion by 2030. The joint statement of 6 May 2026 sets this goal. The Vietnamese government news service reports the same figure. Why the others fail: US$10 billion, US$15 billion and US$50 billion are not the goal named in the joint statement. Memory hook: 25 by 30, the same visit that created the Enhanced Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Argentina, Mexico, South Africa and Turkey are all G20 members. Each of the other three groups has at least one non-member. Group (b) has Malaysia and New Zealand. Group (c) has Iran and Vietnam. Group (d) has Singapore.

The G20 has 19 country members. It also has two regional bodies. They are the European Union and the African Union.

Spain attends every year as a permanent invitee. Other guests change each year. Singapore and Egypt were guests in 2023, but they are not members.

The G20 was founded in 1999, after the Asian financial crisis. Leaders began to meet in 2008, at the first summit in Washington DC.

This team of three is the Troika. The G20 has no secretariat. Sherpas are the leaders’ personal emissaries, and the Finance Track is one of the two work tracks.

1 and 3 only is correct. Alma-Ata concerns primary health care, while Talanoa concerns global climate action.

Under2 brings states and regions together on climate commitments. It is not a child-rights instrument.

The Hague pairing does not identify the biological-and-chemical-weapons framework correctly. The Geneva Protocol and the later biological and chemical weapons conventions are the relevant distinctions.

Earlier Hague rules did address poisoned weapons and certain gas projectiles. Do not turn the rejected pair into a claim that Hague instruments never concerned those weapons.

Review the four subject matches and the Hague and weapons distinction. Read WHO and international health emergencies to connect health institutions with another international framework.

The correct approach combines accessible care, community participation and wider health action. Alma-Ata connects primary health care with Health for All.

Specialist hospitals alone do not capture this vision. Community participation matters, and living conditions influence health.

The declaration does not call for international administrators to replace local health workers.

Review Alma-Ata’s primary health care approach to connect the answer with the lesson.

The dialogue reviewed collective climate efforts and informed nationally determined contributions. Those contributions are national climate-action plans.

Its three questions connected present progress, the desired destination and the route forward. Talanoa supported the Paris Agreement rather than replacing it.

Child abduction belongs to a different legal subject. Talanoa did not create a regional health-care coalition.

Review Talanoa’s purpose and three questions to connect the answer with the lesson.

Under2 brings states, provinces and regions together on climate action. Its memorandum is not legally binding.

Regional governments can act within their responsibilities alongside national climate plans. Their cooperation does not replace national governments’ responsibilities.

Child rights and biological weapons are different subjects. Calling the memorandum a binding weapons treaty misidentifies both its purpose and legal status.

Review Under2’s participants and commitments to connect the answer with the lesson.

Earlier Hague rules addressed poisonous weapons and certain gas projectiles. This prevents the mistaken conclusion that Hague instruments never concerned those weapons.

The rejected examination pair does not accurately identify the later biological-and-chemical-weapons framework. It also does not mean every Hague convention has the same subject.

The Biological Weapons Convention and Chemical Weapons Convention are separate later instruments. Alma-Ata concerns primary health care.

Review the Hague and later weapons conventions distinction to connect the answer with the lesson.

The correct answer is Russia. Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear corporation, and India’s Department of Atomic Energy signed the action plan on 5 October 2018. The occasion was the 19th India-Russia Bilateral Summit in New Delhi. The plan covers six new units at a new site in India. Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States are not the partners in this plan. The official Series A answer key gives the same answer.

The correct answer is Rosatom. Its head, Alexey Likhachov, signed for Russia, and Kamlesh Vyas of India’s Department of Atomic Energy signed for India. The sources name no other Russian organisation as a signatory.

The correct answer is 5 October 2018. The joint statement of the summit carries that date. The date 4 October 2018 is when the two leaders met. The date 1 March 2018 is when the Rooppur memorandum was signed. The date 29 June 2021 is when first concrete was poured for Kudankulam unit 5.

The correct answer is VVER-1000. The World Nuclear Association gives each of the two units 917 MWe net. The VVER-1200 is the planned type for units 7 and 8. The 2018 plan refers to VVER generation 3+ solutions for the new site.

The correct answer is Rooppur in Bangladesh. On 1 March 2018 Rosatom, Bangladesh and India’s Department of Atomic Energy signed a memorandum on the project. Indian companies may supply materials and non-critical equipment under it.

The correct answer is six. World Nuclear News says the plan covers a project to build six units at a new site in India. Do not confuse this with the six units at Kudankulam, which stand on the existing Tamil Nadu site.

The correct answer is The European Union. The EU adopted the GDPR in April 2016. The European Parliament gave final approval on 14 April 2016. The regulation has applied since 25 May 2018.

Australia, Canada and the United States have no law with this name.

Memory hook: the GDPR is an EU law. Vote in 2016, start in 2018.

The correct answer is the 1995 Data Protection Directive. The GDPR replaced this older directive. The 1995 law dated from the early internet era.

The Law Enforcement Directive is a separate 2016 law for policing data. Regulation 2018/1725 is a separate law for EU bodies. The EEA Agreement is the deal that extends the GDPR beyond the EU.

Memory hook: 1995 directive out, 2016 regulation in.

The correct answer is 25 May 2018. The GDPR began to apply on that day. Firms had about two years to get ready after it entered into force.

14 April 2016 is the day Parliament gave final approval. 24 May 2016 is the day it entered into force. 11 August 2023 is the day India enacted its DPDP Act.

Memory hook: Vote 2016, start 2018. Ask which of the two the question wants.

The correct answer is when it offers goods or services to people in the EU. Article 3(2) has two triggers. A firm must offer goods or services to people in the EU, even for free. Or it must monitor their behaviour there.

Storing an EU citizen’s data abroad is not a trigger. The owner’s citizenship does not matter. One EU-citizen customer in a third country is not enough, as the Taiwan bank example shows.

Memory hook: Target or track.

The correct answer is the European Data Protection Board. The EDPB is an independent European body. It adopts binding decisions to settle disputes between national supervisory authorities.

The European Commission, the Council of Europe and the European Court of Auditors do not hold this role under the GDPR.

Memory hook: National authorities enforce. The EDPB is the referee.

The correct answer is Data Principal. The Data Principal is the individual to whom the personal data relates. For a child, this includes a parent or lawful guardian.

A Data Fiduciary is the organisation that decides why and how the data is processed. A Data Processor handles data on behalf of a Data Fiduciary. Data Controller is not the Act’s term.

Memory hook: Fiduciary holds the data. Principal owns it.
