Let's analyze the statements regarding the Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development (APMCHUD):

Statement 1: The first APMCHUD was held in New Delhi, India in 2006. However, the theme was "A vision for sustainable urbanisation in the Asia-Pacific by 2020", and not ‘Emerging Urban Forms — Policy Responses and Governance Structure’.
