Q. Recently, which country has imposed a comprehensive ban on the export of weapons and defence-related items to India?
Answer:
Turkey
Notes: Relations between Turkey and India have deteriorated, leading Turkey to ban military equipment exports to India, a major arms purchaser. This decision follows India's cancellation of a shipbuilding contract with a Turkish company. Although not publicly announced, the ban was revealed during a closed Foreign Affairs Committee debate in the Turkish Parliament on July 10, 2024, by Mustafa Murat Seker, Vice President of Turkey's top arms procurement agency, SSB.
