Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
The inaugural APMCHUD met in New Delhi in December 2006 under the theme “A vision for sustainable urbanisation in the Asia-Pacific by 2020”, not “Emerging Urban Forms…”, so Statement 1 is wrong. Subsequent ministerial conferences have been hosted by Iran (2008), Indonesia (2010), Jordan (2012), South Korea (2014) etc., not always by India nor in partnership with ADB/APEC/ASEAN, so Statement 2 is also wrong. Therefore neither statement is correct (d). ([apmchud.org](https://apmchud.org/PDF/1st%20conference%20proceedings.pdf))
