Q66.
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?
Answer
D
Explanation
The 1st APMCHUD was held in New Delhi, India from 13th–16th December, 2006, but on the theme of 'A Vision for Sustainable Urbanization in the Asia-Pacific by 2020', not 'Emerging Urban Forms'. 'Emerging Urban Forms – Policy Responses and Governance Structure' was the theme of the 6th Asia Pacific Conference in December 2016. The 2nd was held in Iran, 3rd in Indonesia, 4th in Jordan, 5th in South Korea — India does not host all of them. Statement 2 is also incorrect. Neither statement is correct.
