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



  • First statement is wrong because Official website says 2006’s theme was “A Vision for Sustainable Urbanizations in the Asia-Pacific by 2020”. Besides, since 2016’s summit’s theme was emerging urban forms… as per PTI, so it couldn’t have been 2006’s theme. So both statements are wrong.
  • India Yearbook 2017, Chapter 17 Housing- it mentions that APMCHUD’s ministerial conference is a biennial event so second statement is also wrong.
