The correct answer is (a) France.
In September 2014, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav, visited France with an objective to attract overseas investment in the State. He met with French President François Hollande and other senior French officials to discuss investment opportunities in Uttar Pradesh. The Chief Minister also visited several French companies, including Alstom, Airbus, and Safran, to explore the possibility of joint ventures and partnerships.
The Chief Minister’s visit to France was part of a larger effort to attract foreign investment to Uttar Pradesh. In recent years, the State has made significant progress in improving its investment climate, including simplifying the process of doing business, improving infrastructure, and providing tax incentives. As a result, Uttar Pradesh has become one of the most attractive investment destinations in India.
The Chief Minister’s visit to France was a success, and he was able to secure several commitments from French companies to invest in Uttar Pradesh. These investments will create jobs and boost economic growth in the State. The Chief Minister’s visit also helped to strengthen the ties between Uttar Pradesh and France.
The other options are incorrect because the Chief Minister of U.P. did not visit those countries in September, 2014.
