- A3 onlyCorrect
- B1 and 2
- C2 and 3
- D1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Statement 3 is correct because the 4th Meeting of the SAARC Commerce and Trade Ministers was indeed held in Islamabad, Pakistan, in November 2004.
Statement 1 is incorrect because the World Buddhist Summit held in Bangkok in November 2004 was actually the World Buddhist Summit of the World Buddhist Summit organization, but the second such summit under the official World Buddhist Summit title took place in 2000 in Thailand; 2004 marked the fourth session of that specific body.
Statement 2 is incorrect because the World Punjabi Conference held in December 2004 took place in Lahore, Pakistan, not in Jalandhar.
Since only statement 3 is factually accurate, the correct option is A.
