UPSC IAS – 2017
The correct answer is A) 1 only.
The first Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development (APMCHUD) was indeed held in New Delhi, India, in 2006, and its theme was ‘Emerging Urban Forms – Policy Responses and Governance Structure’. Thus, statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because India does not host *all* annual APMCHUD conferences; the hosting rotates among member countries. Furthermore, the conference is typically held biennially (every two years) or at similar intervals, not annually.
APMCHUD is a forum for ministers from countries in the Asia-Pacific region to discuss issues related to housing and urban development, promote regional cooperation, and share best practices. Subsequent conferences have been hosted by various other countries in the region.
