With reference to ‘Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation (I0R-ARC)’, consider the following statements :
I. It was established very recently in response to incidents of piracy and accidents of oil spills.
2. It is an alliance meant for maritime security only.
- I only
- 2 only
- Both I and 2
- Neither I nor 2
- Explanation:
Providing security is not the only objective of IOR ARC. It also works in the field on economic cooperation, including trade, tourism, education, ICT etc. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect. It is not a recently formed organisation, but dates back to 1997. So statement 1 is also false.
