The 1977 Conference on Economic Cooperation was held in which European capital city?

• A. Rome, Italy
• B. Paris, France
• C. Madrid, Spain
• D. Berlin, Germany

Answer: (B)

This question tests your recall of the city that hosted a specific international conference. The 1977 Conference on Economic Cooperation was held in Paris, the capital of France. Paris has long been a central hub for diplomacy and economic forums, and during that era it housed the OECD—an organization focused on economic cooperation—making it a natural venue for such meetings. The other capitals listed—Rome, Madrid, and Berlin—host many events, but this particular conference is historically recorded as taking place in Paris, reflecting France’s prominent role in European economic dialogue at the time.
