Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Detailed Explanation:
Answer: Option 1 — 1 only
✅ Statement 1 – Correct: The India-Africa Forum Summit held in 2015 was indeed the third edition (IAFS-III). The first summit took place in New Delhi in 2008, the second in Addis Ababa in 2011, and the third in New Delhi in October 2015.
❌ Statement 2 – Incorrect: The IAFS mechanism was not instituted in 1951 under Nehru's leadership. The India-Africa Forum Summit was formally established only in 2008 as a structured platform for India-Africa dialogue. While Jawaharlal Nehru championed Afro-Asian solidarity through initiatives like the 1947 Asian Relations Conference and the 1955 Bandung Conference, the IAFS is a separate 21st-century framework created six decades later.
