Question

Accepted Answer

1 only — Statement 1 is correct; the forum was a Track 1.5 dialogue co-hosted by the MEA and the Ananta Centre. Statement 2 is incorrect because the India-EU FTA negotiations were already concluded in January 2026 prior to the forum; the forum focused on translating that finalized agreement into concrete outcomes, not restarting negotiations.
