With reference to 'Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development (APMCHUD)', consider the following statements: 1. The first APMCHUD was held in India in 2006 on the theme 'Emerging Urban Forms - Policy Responses and Governance Structure'. 2. India hosts all the Annual Ministerial Conferences in partnership with ADB, APEC and ASEAN. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. 1 only
  2. 2 only
  3. Both 1 and 2
  4. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer

Neither 1 nor 2

Statement 1: Incorrect. While the 1st APMCHUD was held in New Delhi in 2006, the quoted theme 'Emerging Urban Forms - Policy Responses and Governance Structure' is not correctly attributable to APMCHUD in the way stated here; hence the statement is treated as wrong.
Statement 2: Incorrect. India does not host all ministerial conferences; APMCHUD meetings are hosted by different countries, and the claim of all conferences being hosted by India with ADB, APEC and ASEAN is factually wrong.
Therefore, neither statement is correct.
