Consider the following statements about the 6th ASEAN-India Trade in Goods Agreement (AITIGA) Joint Committee: 1) All 10 ASEAN countries participated, and all 8 Sub-Committees met physically in New Delhi. 2) The review was preceded by high-level meetings in Laos urging completion by 2025. 3) ASEAN became India's largest trading partner with USD 121 billion in 2023-24. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
2 only
Statement 1 — incorrect. The 6th AITIGA Joint Committee meeting was hosted in New Delhi with ASEAN delegations, but the claim that all eight Sub-Committees met physically in New Delhi is not borne out by the official account of the meeting, so the statement as framed is not correct.
Statement 2 — correct. The review followed high-level meetings in Laos (Lao PDR, ASEAN Chair for 2024), including the ASEAN-India Summit at Vientiane, where leaders and economic ministers urged that the AITIGA review be completed in 2025.
Statement 3 — incorrect. India-ASEAN trade was about USD 121 billion in 2023-24, roughly 11% of India's global trade, which makes ASEAN one of India's major trading partners — but not its largest; the claim of being the largest trading partner is wrong.
Only statement 2 is correct.
Hence, the answer is 2 only.
