Statement 1: Milan is an international naval exercise. This is correct. Milan is a biennial multilateral naval exercise hosted by the Indian Navy. It involves participation from numerous countries, focusing on increasing interoperability and understanding among participating navies.
Statement 2: The first edition of the exercise was held in 1995. This is also correct. The Milan exercise was first conducted in 1995 in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands with the participation of four littoral countries: Indonesia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. It has since grown into a major international naval gathering.
Since both statements are correct, the correct answer is C.

Milan is one of the major international naval exercises hosted by India, aimed at fostering friendly relations and cooperation among participating navies through exercises and professional interactions. It is distinct from bilateral or trilateral exercises like Malabar or SLINEX.

The exercise is usually held under the aegis of the Andaman and Nicobar Command of the Indian Navy. The number of participating nations has significantly increased over the years, reflecting the growing strategic importance of the Indian Ocean region and India’s expanding naval partnerships. Milan 2020 (though affected by the pandemic, some activities might have been planned or scaled down) was intended to be a large-scale event.
