Q. Port of Cartagena, recently seen in the news, is located in which country?
Answer:
Spain
Notes: Spain denied entry to an Israel-bound vessel carrying arms at Cartagena port. Cartagena serves as an intermediate stop for ships, facilitating cargo operations and refueling. Such ports initially provided anchorage for ships to refuel, restock, and repair, evolving into commercial hubs. Aden, Honolulu, and Singapore exemplify these transitional ports. Spain's refusal underscores global efforts to regulate arms trafficking and highlights the significance of ports in international security.
