Correct Answer:
C. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh
The Delhi Agreement was a crucial trilateral agreement signed on August 28, 1973, between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. This agreement aimed to resolve the humanitarian issues that arose following the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. Its primary objective was the repatriation of prisoners of war (POWs) and civilian internees held by India and Pakistan, as well as the exchange of populations between Bangladesh and Pakistan. It marked a significant step towards normalizing relations in the subcontinent after the conflict.
- Afghanistan was not a party to this specific agreement, which focused on post-war issues between the three involved nations.
- China was also not a direct signatory to the Delhi Agreement, despite its broader geopolitical interests in the region.
