2 only
Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct. The first Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development was indeed held in India in 2006 with the stated theme on emerging urban forms, policy responses and governance structures. Statement 2 is incorrect because India does not host all annual ministerial conferences in partnership with ADB, APEC and ASEAN. The APMCHUD is hosted by different countries rotating among the Asia-Pacific region, not exclusively by India with those specific partners. The conference rotates among member countries to promote regional cooperation on housing and urban development. > Remember: APMCHUD rotates among Asia-Pacific nations; India hosted the inaugural 2006 conference but does not host all sessions. Answer: (a).
