Consider the following statements: The India-Africa Summit

  1. held in 2015 was the third such Summit
  2. was actually initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1951

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

C.Both 1 and 2
D.Neither 1 nor 2
B.2 only
A.1 only

Correct Answer: Option A

The India-Africa Summit process began in 2008. The first summit was held in 2008, marking a significant diplomatic initiative by India, comparable to the 1983 Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit.

The second summit occurred in 2011, and the third in 2015.

Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is not correct, as the summit was not initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1951.

Hence, only statement 1 is correct.
