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?

A

1 only

B

2 only

C

Both 1 and 2

D

Neither 1 nor 2

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

1. Statement 1 is incorrect. The first APMCHUD was indeed held in India in December 2006 (New Delhi). However, the theme was "A Vision for Sustainable Urbanisation in the Asia-Pacific Region", not 'Emerging Urban Forms - Policy Responses and Governance Structure'. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect. The APMCHUD conferences are held biennially (not annually), and the hosting rights rotate among member countries. India does not host all the conferences. Furthermore, while partnerships exist, stating it's always in partnership with ADB, APEC and ASEAN might not be accurate for every iteration. 3. Therefore, neither statement is correct.
