Explanation:

Dispel- to make (a doubt, feeling, or belief) disappear.
The term, hectic external engagements shows the PM's hard work and is a positive point. The segment after the blank (Chief Minister with little diplomatic experience could not make it to the high table...) points out a negative thing about the PM. So, the positive point that prevails in the present would negate a negative point of the past. Hence, either 'dispel' or 'dismiss' can fit in the first blank.
A visa cannot be agreed to someone, hence option D gets eliminated. "Deny" fits appropriately in the second bank.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
