keywords: 

{'nato': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'asia pacific economic cooperation': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'north atlantic treaty organisation': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'apec': [0, 2, 2, 5], 'russia': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'member': [22, 5, 20, 36], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option 4: Neither 1 nor 2.

Statement 1 states that India is a member of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum, but this is incorrect. India is not a member of APEC. APEC is a forum that consists of 21 member economies from the Asia-Pacific region, including countries like Australia, China, Japan, and the United States, among others. India, however, is not part of this forum.

Statement 2 states that Russia is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), but this is also incorrect. NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance of 30 North American and European countries, primarily focused on collective defense. Russia is not a member of this organization. In fact, Russia is considered a rival or adversary to NATO due to various geopolitical reasons.

Hence, neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct, making option 4 the correct answer.
