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?

Statement 1 is correct because the India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS) held in New Delhi in 2015 was indeed the third edition, following the inaugural summit in 2008 and the second in 2011. Statement 2 is incorrect because the IAFS framework was officially launched in 2008; while Jawaharlal Nehru was a pioneer of Afro-Asian solidarity, he did not initiate this specific summit series. The core concept being tested is the history and timeline of India’s major multilateral diplomatic engagements and institutionalized foreign policy frameworks.
