b. Germany
c. Italy
d. Syria
ANSWER: Syria
The three European countries followed suit days after the UK became the first Western nation to join the bank disregarding reservations expressed by the US which raised concerns over its transparency. With joining of these countries, the total number of the bank's member states including India has gone up to 30. State-run Xinhua news agency quoted top officials of France, Germany and Italy as confirming their participation in the 50 billion dollar investment bank floated last year by President Xi Jinping.
