The correct answer is option 2 - 2 only.

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Project Mausam was not launched by the Ministry of External Affairs in June 2014. The project was actually launched by the Ministry of Culture in June 2014. So, the first statement is incorrect.

Statement 2 is correct. The Project Mausam aims to re-connect and re-establish communication between the countries of the Indian Ocean world, which would lead to a better understanding of cultural values and concerns. It focuses on understanding national cultures in their regional maritime milieu.

Therefore, only the second statement is correct.
